A man of peace in a time of war, Isambard Kerne must choose between the power of words or swords. The fate of both Earth and its Shadow hangs in the balance. Will he be able to master the Way of the Windsmith in time to save the valley of his ancestors? Or will the terror of war change Kerne into what he fears the most? 'It is a book rich with many of the energies of fantasy fiction - that ethereal unreality of memory and imagination - yet also with a sadness about humanity ... If you like fantasy, mythology and the weaving of magic, I think you'll enjoy this book.' Emma Restall Orr 'It is gripping story made even more poignant and potent for being woven out of familiar and haunting strands from ancient Irish and Welsh traditions, and familiar and haunting images from modern wars' Moyra Caldecott 'The characters are engaging, the narrative heroic, the fights exciting and the solutions believable ... For those who enjoy Irish and Welsh "Celtic" stories and cultures and aren't averse to seeing those played with in creative ways, this is a recommended read.' White Dragon
