Book description
A reissue of classic backlist titles from the author of the best
selling Farseer Trilogy and The Liveship Traders books. HARPY'S FLIGHT
was Lindholm's first novel, and the first in the WINDSINGERS series,
which introduced her popular gypsy characters, Ki and Vandien.
Harpies don't give up of blood debts. Neither do the men who serve
them. A life must be given in return.
Devastated by the slaughter of her family and haunted by memories of
her own violent revenge, Ki rejects the comfort of her husband's gypsy
people and wants only to wander in solitude as an outcast.
Across mountains sheathed with ice, through the treacherous shadow of
the impassable Sisters, Ki finds herself running for her life, pursued
by frenzied Harpies sworn to vengeance; and by one stubborn, dark-haired
man who seems intent on being part of her future. Praise for Megan Lindholm:
'A bright new talent in the fantasy field'
Charles de Lint
'Lindholm has created a refreshingly different magic'
Locus
'Fascinating, absorbing and well written'
