Book description
Taking fantasy literature beyond the stereotypes, Daniel Heath
Justice's acclaimed Thorn and Thunder novels are set in a world
resembling eighteenth-century North America. The original trilogy is
available here for the first time as a fully revised one-volume novel.
The story of the struggle for the green world of the Everland, home of
the forest-dwelling Kyn, is an adventure tale that bends genre and gender.
“Justice has created a fantasy epic so rich in history and so complex
with all of its inhabitants and mystery that you're never going to
want The Way of Thorn and Thunder to end. What a treasure for anyone
looking for heroes and adventure in a series based on Aboriginal
philosophy and wisdom.” -Richard Van Camp, author of The Lesser Blessed
“The Way of Thorn and Thunder is a beautifully wrought high fantasy
novel, drawing from the unique and fascinating cultures of North
America's aboriginal peoples but successfully creating a world and
characters that stand on their own, and are even set apart from what
we usually see in high fantasy. Readers who enjoy meticulously created
landscapes and cultures, as well as language that is by turns both
visceral and elegant, will likely find much to love in The Way of
Thorn and Thunder.”-Karin Lowachee, author The Gaslight Dogs
“A powerful heroic fantasy, notable for being set, not in the
familiar myth-Europe of most such fantasies, but (like Liliana Bodoc's
haunting Saga de los Confines) in the Old World of the Western
Hemisphere, the Native American world, where the true, deep roots of
magic are threatened by conquest and destruction.”-Ursula K. Le Guin
Daniel Heath Justice, a Colorado-born Canadian citizen of the
Cherokee Nation, teaches Aboriginal literatures at the University of
Toronto.
