The Chaoswar Saga is the final[1] trilogy in the Riftwar Cycle series of fantasy novels by Raymond E. Feist.

Concept

In the fantasy novels of Feist, a "riftwar" is a war between two worlds that are connected by some sort of dimensionless gap (rift). In Feist's invented history, there are several rift wars. The first, between Midkemia and Kelewan, is described in the trilogy The Riftwar Saga. Feist has confirmed[2] that there are five riftwars in total.

This saga is the conclusion of Feist's preceding Riftwar Cycle works, and is the fifth and final Riftwar.
