![]() ![]() This volume contains The Riddle-Master of Hed, Heir of Sea and Fire and Hugo and World Fantasy Award-shortlisted Harpist in the Wind - the complete Riddle-Master trilogy, which is among the most respected and popular fantasies of recent years. Shipwrecked and attacked, he discovers that unknown powers will stop at nothing to destroy him. ![]() In his quest for a new life for himself and his people, he must face great dangers - not only to himself but to his promised bride, his land and his very way of life. In the first book of the trilogy, The Riddle-Master of Hed, Morgon, the Prince of Hed, leaves his rural island home to claim the bride he inadvertently won as a result of a riddle game with a dead kings ghost. He must wander strange, foreign lands full of untamed magic in the form of riddling wraiths, mysterious harpists, a lost crown, a magical sword and an all-knowing High One who rules over all. ![]() Although he wants only to rule and work the land of his birth, Morgon must search out a very different destiny - one dictated since birth by the mark of three stars imprinted on his forehead. In a land where wizards have long since vanished, Morgon, Prince of Hed, is confronted with a challenge much different from that faced by his land-bound predecessors. One of modern fantasy's most assured and original trilogies - comparable to The Lord of the Rings and The Book of the New Sun in scope and grandeur. ![]()
