Synopsis
In Dog Wizard, exiled wizard Antryg Windrose and his companion Joanna have settled into a quiet life on Earth following the events of the previous novels, when their peace is shattered by Joanna's sudden abduction at the hands of a mysterious mage. Before Antryg can pursue her, he receives an urgent summons back to his home world from the very council of wizards who once condemned him to death for his past actions. Arriving to answer the summons, Antryg finds the wizards deny any knowledge of Joanna's kidnapping and reveal instead that they called him back for an entirely different, unrelated purpose, leaving him to untangle two separate crises pulling him in different directions at once.

Notes
- From the series record (Windrose Chronicles): Complete Del Rey/Ballantine portal-fantasy quartet (1986-1994) following computer programmer Joanna Sheraton and wizard Antryg Windrose between our world and the magic-vs-technology setting of the Empire of Ferryth (Stranger at the Wedding is a same-universe standalone following a peripheral character). Confirmed a separate, unrelated universe from this author's already-admitted Darwath and Sun Wolf/Winterlands series.
