And the last hope of a magical realm under siege rests within a child's plaything. Every weapon in the arsenal of Ile-Rien's revered wizards has proven useless - their magic quickly identified by the enemy and rendered instantly impotent, their conventional arms spontaneously and inexplicably exploded. Once a fertile and prosperous land, it is now under attack by the Gardier, a mysterious army whose storm-black airships appear from nowhere to strike without warning. Ile-Rien faces the grim specter of its own imminent demise. With this, the first book in an extraordinary new epic trilogy, the Nebula Award?nominated author of The Death of the Necromancer and Wheel of the Infinite dazzles as never before - bringing a stark and breathtaking reality to an imperiled world of magic. Reviewers nationwide, as well as fellow artists in the fantasy arena, have already marveled at the astonishing voice and vision of Martha Wells.
