Brothers of the Wind

Zusatztext Praise for Osten Ard “ Inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy .... It’s one of my favorite fantasy series.” —George R. R. Martin,  New York Times -bestselling author of  A Song of Ice and Fire   “Groundbreaking.... Changed how people thought of the genre, and  paved the way for so much modern fantasy . Including mine.” —Patrick Rothfuss,  New York Times -bestselling author of  The Name of the Wind   "Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece . Williams’ return to Osten Ard is every bit as compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at the top of his game." —Brandon Sanderson,  New York Times -bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive “ Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn  is  one of the great fantasy epics of all time .” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of  Eragon   "Building upon the revered history of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, Williams has outdone himself by penning a 700-plus page novel that is virtually un-put-down-able.... Williams’ grand-scale storytelling mastery is on full display here. Not just utterly readable— an instant fantasy classic ." — Kirkus Reviews  (starred) “ Readers who delight in losing themselves in long complex tales of epic fantasy  will be in their element here, and there is the promise of much more to come in future volumes.” — Locus   “Panoramic, vigorous, often moving.... Williams adroitly weaves together the tales...heralding a suitably  epic and glorious  conclusion.” — Publishers Weekly   “Highly Recommended. [Williams] draws on many mythologies for the background of his fantasy epic...story spiced with  political intrigue and strong appealing heroes .” — Library Journal   “ A grand fantasy  on a scale approaching Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.” — Cincinnati Post Informationen zum Autor Tad Williams Klappentext Now in paperback, set in the New York Times bestselling world of Osten Ard, this short novel continues the saga that inspired a generation of fantasists. Pride often goes before a fall, but sometimes that prideful fall is so catastrophic that it changes history itself. Among the immortal Sithi of Osten Ard, none are more beloved and admired than the two sons of the ruling family, steady Hakatri and his proud and fiery younger brother Ineluki-Ineluki, who will one day become the undead Storm King. The younger brother makes a bold, terrible oath that he will destroy deadly Hidohebhi, a terrifying monster, but instead drags his brother with him into a disaster that threatens not just their family but all the Sithi-and perhaps all of humankind as well. Set a thousand years before the events of Williams's The Dragonbone Chair, the tale of Ineluki's tragic boast and what it brings is told by Pamon Kes, Hakatri's faithful servant. Story Locale: Osten Ard (fantasy world) Leseprobe The Black Worm   I now undertake to tell my master Hakatri's story, or at least the parts of it that I myself witnessed, but even before I have begun I am already full of doubts. I cannot tell my master's tale without telling some of my own, but I am not the same person who journeyed so long at his side. The things that happened to us changed me almost as much as they did him, and I can scarcely remember now the person I was then. Still, this Pamon Kes will do his best to tell of what that Pamon Kes saw, heard, and felt during that fateful time.   I have no idea who will read these words, but I feel I must set them down. The years are passing; death will eventually close my eyes and still my tongue. The knowledge of such important events does not belong to me alone, but to ...
