Well of Shiuan is a 1978 fantasy novel by American author C.J. Cherryh. It is the second installment in the four-part Morgaine Stories series. The novel follows the ongoing quest of Morgaine, a determined and enigmatic woman, and her reluctant warrior companion, Nhi Vanye i Chya, as they traverse different worlds to close the Gates—ancient constructs capable of catastrophic destruction when misused. The story explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the tension between duty and morality.
