The Morgaine Stories

genre:  fantasy

The Morgaine Stories, also known as The Morgaine Cycle, are a series of fantasy novels by American writer C. J. Cherryh, published by DAW Books. They concern a time-traveling heroine, Morgaine, and her loyal companion Nhi Vanye i Chya. The first book in the series, Gate of Ivrel (1976), was Cherryh's first published novel, and was followed soon thereafter by Well of Shiuan (1978) and Fires of Azeroth (1979). The construct at the center of these novels is a set of "Gates" that connect various worlds. In addition to traveling from place to place, the Gates can also be used for time travel. Cherryh has cited the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Andre Norton as influences in the development of her gate system. This blending of technology and elements more common to fantasy often results in the books being labeled as works of "science fantasy".Cherryh was made a member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America, an informal group of American fantasy authors active from the 1960s through the 1980s, for the Morgaine Stories.
