“Gene Wolfe is the smartest, subtlest, most dangerous writer alive today, in genre or out of it. This book [is] important and wonderful.” —Neil Gaiman on The Knight A novel in two volumes, The Wizard Knight is in the rare company of works of fantasy like The Once and Future King, or The Wizard of Earthsea, that drink directly from the wellspring of myth. Now it appears in a single-volume edition for the first time. A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm consisting of seven levels of reality. Transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Sir Able of the High Heart and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, the blade that will help him fulfill his ambition to become a true hero—a true knight. Inside, however, Sir Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive what lies ahead... “[Wolfe] should enjoy the same rapt attention we afford to Thomas Pynchon, Toni Morrison, and Cormac McCarthy.” —The Washington Post on The Knight “Wolfe’s version of Faerie is both allusive and elusive, beautiful and fatally glamorous.” —Tad Williams on The Knight With a new introduction by Yves Meynard, acclaimed author of The Book of Knights.

Thorn, the chosen one, along with members of the dominion army, have returned to Sarvania to enjoy their new lives that are finally rid of the vampire threat. But their time of peace only lasts so long. Lurking in a distant land, a place known as Devil’s Claw Canyon, a new threat is rising.

When Shingo doesn’t return, Thorn takes his companions to search for the missing monk. Along the way, Thorn finds proof that the wizards’ order may be a target of assassination, so Thorn sends the priestess Zalandrea along with his best friend Malic to help stop any attempt to kill wizards. Continuing on his quest to find the lost monk, Thorn ends up in a desert wasteland containing many unknown beings. With the monk still missing and Zalandrea possibly walking into a trap due to the wizard’s order, Thorn fights to stay alive, and to find a way to reunite his companions before the uprising of a new unknown evil threat.

A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero. Inside, however, Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons. His adventure will conclude next year in the second volume of The Wizard Knight, The Wizard. Gene Wolfe is one of the most widely praised masters of SF and fantasy. He is the winner of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, the Nebula Award, twice, the World Fantasy Award, twice, the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, the British Fantasy Award, and France's Prix Apollo. His popular successes include the four-volume classic The Book of the New Sun. With this new series, Wolfe not only surpasses all the most popular genre writers of the last three decades, he takes on the legends of the past century, in a work that will be favorably compared with the best of J. R. R. Tolkien, E. R. Eddison, Mervyn Peake, and T. H. White. This is a book---and a series---for the ages, from perhaps the greatest living writer in (or outside) the fantasy genre.

The lust for power is a madness of its own. Over the past year, princess Athaya Trelane emerged as the champion of the Lorngeld, beseeching them to defy the laws forbidding their magic and to embrace their gifts. For this she sacrificed everything—family, friendship, love—even her own sanity. Though her followers still face the terror of King Durek’s ruthless Tribunal, a far greater threat closes in on all of Caithe. Brandegarth, the Sage of Sare, is leading an army of skilled wizards against the king, Athaya, and anyone else who opposes him. Brandegarth believes the Lorngeld are better than other men and are destined to rule the earth. If he succeeds in his rebellion, all the wealth and power of Caithe will belong to him, and non-magical citizens will be crushed under his reign. Athaya’s quest to end centuries of Lorngeld persecution seems closer than ever, but Brandegarth’s strength is growing, threatening to obliterate all that she’s gained. With her mission, her people, and her kingdom on the line, Athaya must confront her greatest adversary yet—and this time, her magic may not be enough to save her.

Jeremiah Revel wanted to be just like his father—a proud member of The City Police Force. However, the corruption and deceit that infected the decaying city is too much for an honest man to take. He is forced to return his badge and make a living as a private investigator. However, he and his misfit group of friends take on a case that will uncloak the dangerous mysteries surrounding the criminal underworld known as The Harvest Union. Being a man full of so much love, and so much anger, Jeremiah Revel struggles to understand whether he is the hero, or slowly becoming the villain. The line that separates the two becomes vague. Even though his friends surround him, Jeremiah Revel feels alone in this endeavor—save for Heather, his lovely escape. Somehow, a simple investigation turns into an unlikely adventure of heartache and survival, of betrayal and revival, where beauty and darkness coexist within the absence of light.
