"Told with a true storyteller's voice: clear, singing,
persuasive, and wonderfully moving . . . a truly wonderful
book."--Jane Yolen
From #1 "New York Times "bestselling author George R. R. Martin and
acclaimed author Lisa Tuttle comes a timeless tale that brilliantly
renders the struggle between the ironbound world of tradition and a
rebellious soul seeking to prove the power of a dream.
Among the scattered islands that make up the water world of
Windhaven, no one holds more prestige than the silver-winged
flyers, romantic figures who cross treacherous oceans, braving
shifting winds and sudden storms, to bring news, gossip, songs, and
stories to a waiting populace. Maris of Amberly, a fisherman's
daughter, wants nothing more than to soar on the currents high
above Windhaven. So she challenges tradition, demanding that flyers
be chosen by merit rather than inheritance. But even after winning
that bitter battle, Maris finds that her troubles are only
beginning. Now a revolution threatens to destroy the world she
fought so hard to join--and force her to make the ultimate
sacrifice.
"Martin and Tuttle make wonderful professional music together . . .
shifting easily from moments of almost unbearable tension to others
of sheer poetry and exhilaration."--"Fort Worth
Star-Telegram"
"A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable
reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for
excellence."--Roger Zelazny
"It's romance. It's science fiction. It's beautiful."--A. E. van
Vogt
"I didn't mean to stay up all night to finish "Windhaven, " but I
had to "--Anne McCaffrey
