Children of the Wind (Seven Citadels Quartet, Book #2)
by Geraldine HarrisKerish-loTaan, third son of the Emperor of Galkis, his half-brother Lord Forollkin and their unlikely companion, the hideous, insolent musician Gidjabolgo, continue their search for the seven sorcerers, who hold the keys to a prison in which it is believed the saviour of Galkis is held captive. Only if the saviour is freed can the Empire be saved. First the travellers must find the Sorcerer of Tir-Zulmar whose citadel is at the very edge of the Ultimate Mountains. Their path leads them through the deadly marshes of Lan-Pin-Fria, and only the self-sacrifice of a devoted slave enables them to pass through. Their trials are far from over, however, and even when at last they reach Tir-Zulmar and Kerish obtains the precious key he needs to continue the quest, there is a condition. If it is not met, the key must be surrendered. Furthermore, their way lies across the Plains of Erandachu, the home of the Children of the Wind, Kerish's mother's people. And the Circle of Kinship, newly forged, must not be broken. This is the second of the four volumes that relate the exciting journeys and adventures that are the story of "Seven Citadels."
Prince of the Godborn (Seven Citadels Quartet, Book #1)
by Geraldine HarrisGalkis was doomed. It was attacked by enemy armies without and torn by intrigues within. There seemed no hope for this proud and golden city. Yet, almost forgotten in the lore of the Empire, there was a story of a saviour imprisoned behind seven gates --and the keys to the gates were held by seven mysterious sorcerers. No one knew where they could be found, or even whether they had ever existed. But the last hope for Galkis was for the saviour to be found and freed. The old High Priest believed there was only one person he could send on such a mission--Kerish-lo-Taan, the Emperor's third son, who was Godborn. But, though Kerish possessed many strange powers, his father had forbidden him to be taught their use. And he was still a boy who had never lived outside the pampered circle of court life. Nevertheless Kerish agreed to go, with his half-brother Forollkin to accompany him. Into the blue, chasing a legend: on this frail thread hung the fate and destiny of a nation. Prince of the Godborn is the first of four books that tell the extraordinary story of "Seven Citadels."
The Red Magician
by Lisa GoldsteinWinner of the 1983 American Book Award, The Red Magician was an immediate classic. On the eve of World War II, a wandering magician comes to a small Hungarian village prophesying death and destruction. Eleven-year-old Kicsi believes Voros, and attempts to aid him in protecting the village. But the local rabbi, who possesses magical powers, insists that the village is safe, and frustrates Voros's attempts to transport them all to safety. Then the Nazis come and the world changes. Miraculously, Kicsi survives the horrors of the concentration camp and returns to her village to witness the final climactic battle between the rabbi and the Red Magician, the Old World and the New. The Red Magician is a notable work of Holocaust literature and a distinguished work of fiction, as well as a marvelously entertaining fantasy that is, in the end, wise and transcendent.

When Cliff is reported missing in action, Alma, needing something to do, decides to write a memorial of his life. This project, viewed with varying degress of pity and alarm by her neighbors, gradually involves them all: Faye Baird, living with her mad old TV-watching mother; Clara Himbaugh, a proselytizing Christian Scientist; Willard Baker, the ne'er-do-well homosexual son of a doctor who keeps a tense young man named Vernon; Professor Mannheim, who once taught Cliff, and is reputed to have led a scandalous off-campus life; and rich, intelligent Mrs. Barrington, who at ninety is still the town's deus ex machina. Alma's investigation, which reveals some disturbing facts about Cliff's short life, reveals even more about the quiet griefs and pasts of her aging contemporaries, and eventually she drops the whole project- in favor of living out this complex daily life she has never really known....
