This is where the Seekers of Knowledge come to learn about the past,. Present and future, about alternate realities, about the things mortals were never meant to know. Now, under the expert guidance of such Guardians of the Archives as Tanya Huff, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Michelle West, Jane Lindskold, Kristine Kathryn Rush, and their fellow keepers of wisdom, you, too, can venture into this most closely guarded citadel to discover the magic contained in the four elements--Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
So settle down for the adventures of a lifetime, magical journeys that will take you from : a fire elemental who has gotten so into the habit of being human that when freed by her wizard's death her one desire is to find a mortal body of her own...to a priest challenged by the wee folk to remove the curse they'd put on his village by beating them at their won game...to a child, who, claiming and claimed by the water, might call salvation from the heart of disaster...to brothers of air, Djinn, tempters of humankind, who face their greatest challenge when the man they have targeted for temptation proves to be the chosen of God....
