Lord of the Isles

Following a savage storm, two pairs of siblings from a tiny seaport town embark on challenging adventures in this epic fantasy series debut.

“An epic with the texture of the legends of yore, with rousing action and characters to cheer for.” —Terry Goodkind

With Lord of the Isles, David Drake returns to fantasy with a towering and complex epic of heroic adventure in an extraordinary and colorful world where the elemental forces that empower magic are rising to a thousand-year peak.

In the days following an unusually severe storm, the inhabitants of a tiny seaport town travel toward romance, danger, and astonishing magic that will transform them and their world.

“True brilliance is as rare as a perfect diamond or a supernova. Lord of the Isles is truly brilliant. We are in at the birth of a classic . . . There is a lot of fantasy out there, but there is only one Lord of the Isles.” -Morgan Llywelyn

“David Drake's work here is original, engrossing, and instantly credible. After all the hackneyed, repetitive fantasy I've read recently, Lord of the Isles seems quite wonderful.” -Stephen R. Donaldson
