THE ILL-MADE MUTE - SPECIAL EDITION The Bitterbynde Trilogy #1
Revised and extended, with extras never before published, including
information about Ms Dart-Thornton's life as an author and
fragments of her unpublished juvenilia. 'The Stormriders land their
splendid winged stallions on the airy battlements of Isse Tower.
Far below, the superstitious servants who dwell in the fortress's
lower depths tell tales of wicked creatures inhabiting the world
outside, a world they have only glimpsed. 'Yet it is the least of
the lowly - a mute, scarred, and utterly despised foundling - who
dares to scale the Tower, sneak aboard a Windship, and then dive
from the sky. 'The fugitive is rescued by an adventurer who gives
it a name, the gift of communicating by handspeak, and an amazing
truth, never guessed. Now Imrhien begins a journey to distant
Caermelor, seeking a wise woman whose skills may be lifechanging.
Along the way Imrhien must survive a wilderness of endless danger.
For the hearthside tales are all true. The unhuman wights are real
in all their legions. They haunt every pool, every turn in the
road, and threaten and torment all travelers.' Author Cecilia
Dart-Thornton was discovered on the Internet. She had written the
three books of the Bitterbynde Trilogy before she uploaded the
first chapter to a Writers' Workshop, where her work was spotted by
an editor. Shortly afterwards Time-Warner's publishing department
(New York) offered her a contract. They published her books in
hardcover, the first time they had ever done so with a new author.
The Bitterbynde Trilogy hit the best-seller lists world-wide and
has been translated into five languages.
