Ahead of its time on its original publication, Debra Doyle and
James D. Macdonald's Mythopoeic Fantasy Award-winning dark medieval
fantasy Knight's Wyrd is perfect for contemporary tastes. Tor
Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy
titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by
an appropriate literary figure. With an introduction written for
this edition by Sherwood Smith. On the eve of his knighting, Will
Odosson learns his wyrd, or destiny: He shall meet death before a
year has passed. Will rushes north to release his betrothed from
their engagement, but on the way he is beset by all manner of
horrors--a man-eating troll, carnivorous mermaids, a magic-working
dragon . . . and something far worse: an evil unlike anything Will
ever imagined. Knight's Wyrd is an award-winning gem that's perfect
for revival as a Tor Essential and will appeal to fans of books
like Hild and Spear, and films like The Green Knight--a medieval
fantasy with the authentic lived-in strangeness of the real Middle
Ages. It was originally published by a pair of YA imprints, but it
works equally well as an adult read.
