Windhaven

by George R.R. Martin, Lisa Tuttle
$8.90
Windhaven
Windhaven

High-flying fantasy rebellion against tradition.

"Windhaven" could be a wonderful choice for you if the idea of a daring underdog challenging age-old customs thrills you. Maris's journey from a simple fisherman's daughter to a challenger of the elitist flyers' status quo is both captivating and inspiring. It's not just the appeal of a fight for equality and justice that'll hook you, it’s also the rich, immersive world-building reminiscent of the best fantasy tales. George R. R. Martin's flair for complex, morally gray characters and societies is very much evident in this collaboration with Lisa Tuttle, making it a gripping read for those who love nuanced character development and a deep dive into new worlds.

  • Locus Award Nominee for Best SF Novel (1982)
