  The golden key glowed darkly, the inset gem flashing green fire. Inscribed
  runes spelled out a promise beyond belief. The Key to Paradise. A promise and
  a quest.
  
  
  
  
  
  Giles Grimsmate, world-wandering survivor of the Trans wars, had won it fairly
  in a game of chance. The second key – along with a goodly haul of coin – had
  been stolen from a rich merchant by Keja Tchurak, master thief.
  
  
  
  
  
  And when they set out for the invisible Gates of Paradise, Petia, half-cat,
  half-woman, tracked them with silent night-skills.
  
  
  
  
  
  Yet to enter Paradise, three keys more were needed: The Flame Key, The Key of
  the Skeleton Lord, and The Key of Ice and Steel.
  
  
  
  
  
  Five keys, scattered throughout a realm of supernatural happenings, strange
  creatures and otherworldly powers.
