In a magical community descended from Gods, a child born with no magical ability is a second-class citizen, someone barely worthy of notice . . .
The first book in the 'Mithermages' series, Card creates within The Lost Gate an astounding urban fantasy about a clan of mages in exile in our world, living in uneasy truce with other clans until a birth brings the flames of open war back to life.
"Card always writes with insight and compassion about children, and his gifted storytelling skills guarantee success [with The Lost Gate]." -- Kirkus
