Read more reviews THE POWERFUL DEBUT NOVEL FROM FANTASY'S NEXT SUPERSTAR Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature. A high-action story written with a poet's hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard.

Brandon Sanderson: The official site Jacqueline Carey's Official Author Site Terry Goodkind: The Official Author Website TvJustica.jus.br Mistborn Introduction MISTBORN is the name of Brandon’s epic fantasy trilogy. The first book is technically MISTBORN: THE FINAL EMPIRE, though people just tend to call it MISTBORN or MISTBORN 1. Synopsis I came into this book with two big ideas for the plot. The second idea was to write a story about a world where the good guys lost. Hence, MISTBORN. Anyway, that’s the ‘back of the book’ movie trailer type explanation. During development, the story moved further and further away from the heist. The book has a little of everything for everyone. Reviews Booklist said the following: “The Sliver of Infinity, the Lord Ruler, is the locus of religious and temporal order in a world in which the skaa are slaves or worse. Cinescape magazine said “Author of the critically acclaimed instant fantasy classic Elantris (2005), Brandon Sanderson returns with the first novel of his new Mistborn Series. The Romantic Times gave the book full marks and said “The characters in this book are amazingly believable.

A stand-alone epic fantasy novel, the book won the Romantic Times award for best epic fantasy of 2005, was chosen by Barnes and Noble.com editors as the best fantasy or sf book of the year, and is forthcoming in fourteen languages (about half of which have been released as of September of 2007.) Synopsis It’s always interesting to describe your book to people, since a novel like this, at 200,000 words, is going to mean very different things to different people. Tor classifies this book as an epic fantasy. The setting is the city of Elantris and the surrounding suburbs. The book follows the experiences of three people as they interact with the people of Elantris. The three stories intertwine as the truth of what happened to Elantris, and its inhabitants, ten years ago is unearthed. Reviews About the book, Publisher’s Weekly (which gave it a starred review) had the following to say: Best of all, the story is complete. Orson Scott Card

George R. R. Martin's Official Website Kuentro 2 The Warded Man by Peter V Brett Mankind has ceded the night to the corelings, demons that rise up out of the ground each day at dusk, killing and destroying at will until dawn, when the sun banishes them back to the Core. As darkness falls, the world’s few surviving humans hide behind magical wards, praying the magic can see them through another night. As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. Born into these isolated hamlets are three children. But these three children all have something in common. The first book in this new fantasy series available in the UK (as The Painted Man) September 1, 2008! Available in the US (as The Warded Man) March 10, 2009!
