Draw near and listen, or else time is at an end. The watering holes of the Plain are drying up, the fearsome fanghorn grow more numerous, and bad omens abound. Wulfgar, a leader of the Altaii people, must contend with twin queens, warlords, prophets, and magic in hopes of protecting his people and securing their future. Elspeth, a visitor from another world, holds the answers, but first Wulfgar must learn to ask the right questions. But what if the knowledge that saves the Altaii will also destroy them?
Rounded up from 3.5. RTC.
As a huge fan of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, this book was interesting to see early forms of a few of the ideas that he later incorporated into that series. That being said, I am not a huge fan of barbarian fantasy, and this early novel was still rough around the edges in writing style and pacing.
