The Bridge of D’Arnath quartet begins with Son of Avonar (2004) and expands across four books that explore the relationship between two worlds joined by ancient magic. The bridge itself is both a physical and metaphysical connection, and its deterioration drives the series’ central conflict.
Carol Berg uses the dual-world structure to examine how characters from different realities perceive magic, power, and sacrifice. The quartet shifts perspective across its four books, with each entry bringing new characters and viewpoints while building toward a conclusion that ties the separate storylines together.
