The Master of Whitestorm
by Janny WurtsThis classic fantasy adventure from the acclaimed author of the Wars of Light and Shadow series &“is storytelling at its best&” (Raymond E. Feist, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). Chained at the oar on a Mhurgai galley, a sullen slave who never speaks is considered a madman by his fellow captives—until the hour Korendir announces a plan, which is certainly doomed to failure, for no one ever escapes the merciless Mhurgai alive . . . Korendir&’s silence hides a devious intellect. And his benchmate, Haldeth, is desperate to end his cruel captivity, even if mercy comes to him under the murderous knives of the Mhurgai. When Korendir&’s daring plan frees them both, Haldeth is compelled to follow his determined companion on an even more impossible quest: to lift a curse that despoils the kingdom of Torresdyr by recovering a legendary wardstone from a witch. His prize if he succeeds? A wizard&’s treasure. If he fails? A grave with the legion of defeated champions before him. Far from content to retire from danger, Korendir&’s restless nature will not embrace peace, his insatiable taste for impossible odds skating the thin edge toward insanity . . . &“Powerful . . . Epic grandeur . . . Magnificent.&” —Anne McCaffrey, New York Times–bestselling author &“Feeling like an old-fashioned episodic adventure fantasy, the novel gradually reveals an underlying thread that explains the main character&’s personality. Think Lethal Weapon in a complex fantasy setting.&” —Tor.com &“A large, varied, and original fantasy world, a unique magic concept, and a beautiful romance.&” —Fantasy Literature
