The Tree of Swords and Jewels continues C. J. Cherryh's Morgaine Cycle, following the wanderer Vanye and the enigmatic, near‑immortal Morgaine as they pursue their mission to close the ancient Gates that threaten to destabilize worlds. Set immediately after The Fires of Azeroth, this novel deepens the saga's blend of high fantasy and science‑fiction logic, focusing on loyalty, exile, and the cost of duty. The story centers on Morgaine's attempt to seal another Gate while navigating political conflict among clans, half‑human tribes, and ancient powers tied to the qhal. Vanye, bound to Morgaine by oath and honor, struggles with divided loyalties as they confront treachery, shifting alliances, and the destructive potential of Gate technology. Cherryh's prose emphasizes stark landscapes, moral weight, and the tension between personal desire and sworn obligation. This volume is notable for expanding the lore of the Gates, sharpening the emotional bond between Morgaine and Vanye, and setting the stage for the later novel Exile's Gate. First editions are sought after for their distinctive cover art and the novel's importance in Cherryh's early fantasy canon. THIS copy is clean, tight and bright. First printing August 1983. Paperback edition. Dimensions: 4.25" by 7". 254 pages. Published by DAW Books, New York. 1st edition, 1983. Multi-Color binding 0.5 Pound Shipping Rate. Genre(s): Fantasy
