For the first time in audio, the Cycle of Fire Trilogy, a stout and epic
tale mixing sci-fi and fantasy by acclaimed author Janny Wurts. This
classic fantasy trilogy follows three young people struggling to free
the Stormwarden, the last of the elemental power-wielding Vaere
sorcerers, so that he can battle the humanity-threatening demonkind.
Far in the future, a human-crewed starship crashes on a distant planet,
carrying alien POWs taken to help discover the secrets of a deadly foe,
the group mind known as the Gierj. In time, the humans revert to a
feudal society, the aliens are seen as "demons," and the starship's
computer survives as a "magical" entity known as the Vaere.
In Book 1, Stormwarden, Auskiere, wizard of wind and water, binds the
Mharg-demons with the aid of Ivan, master of fire and earth. But at the
moment of his greatest peril, Ivan is betrayed and he swears a terrible
oath against his betrayer--an oath so powerful that it begins a
relentless "cycle of fire."
Janny Wurts is the author of several fantasy series, including the
internationally bestselling Empire trilogy, written in collaboration
with Raymond E. Feist. She paints all her own covers, depicting her
vision of characters and setting. She is also an expert horsewoman,
sailor, musician, and archer.
