David Farland is the pseudonym of Dave Wolverton, an American author of fantasy fiction who lives in Utah with his wife and five children.

He has achieved much renown in the science fiction field, but fans may know him best as the author of Star Wars novels; The Courtship of Princess Leia was met with acclaim from critics and readers alike and became a New York Times bestselling novel.
Ray Porter is an AudioFile Earphones Award–winning narrator and fifteen-year veteran of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. He has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including Almost Famous, ER, and Frasier.
I like the hints of new directions going on in this one. The different kinds of wizards, in particular.

“Farland once again proves himself a wizard at storytelling…This latest is certain to summon past readers of the series back to bookstores.”
Publishers Weekly“The author’s imaginative approach to magic, coupled with a richly detailed fantasy world and a cast of memorable heroes and villains, adds depth and variety to this epic tale of war and valor.”
Library Journal“Farland’s massive and compelling saga, which began with The Runelords, continues at a breakneck pace…As in the earlier books, the danger and violence are larger than life, and many die. But any grimness is leavened by the strong theme of love and respect for the earth and its denizens.”
Booklist“Colorful, inventive magics, vigorous plotting, and gore aplenty.”
