What to expect
On the stormy planet of Windhaven, flyers are idolised as the vital link between its disparate islands. The common people rely on this elite class to support their way of life. These "land-bound" can only dream of what it must be like to take to the skies.
For Maris, dreams are not enough, and through an unlikely twist of fate she has a taste of what life as a flyer is like.
Maris was born to fly; as her raw talent blossoms into peerless skill it appears her childhood fantasies have come true. However, just as it seems that she has found her true calling, the hereditary dogma which rules the skies sets out to strip Maris of her wings.
Birthright - not ability - has always governed the right to fly.
Maris' rebellious crusade to change this inequality, and earn back her wings has deeper consequences for Windhaven than anyone could have possibly imagined.
In a unique collaboration from two of the Twentieth Century's greatest imaginations; George R. R. Martin & Lisa Tuttle, WINDHAVEN is fantasy at its best.
