Some possibilities that come to mind are Diane Duane's DOOR INTO (FIRE?
SHADOW?)  Dammit, which one came first?  and MacAvoy's TEA WITH THE BLACK
DRAGON.  However, I think it comes down to two other possibilities:
Pamela Dean's THE SECRET COUNTRY and Roger Zelazny's AND CALL ME CONRAD
(aka THIS IMMORTAL).
