About this ebook

Angus Wells carved a place for himself on the shelves of hundreds of thousands of fantasy readers.  Now, with Lords Of The Sky, it is clear that he has saved his most sweeping and imaginative tale for an epic more powerful than anything he has written before. For centuries, the Dhar have had to face the Ahn, fierce warriors who would lay claim to Dharbek, the land they call their ancestral home.  Now, in fantastic airships powered by magic, the Ahn have begun their greatest campaign yet.  In preparation for the coming onslaught, Storymen like Daviot travel the land collecting tales and sharing the history it's their responsibility to safeguard.  But Daviot's travels show him the dark side of Dharbek, and inspire him to be a catalyst for change, to overcome doubt and fear, and pursue the one dream that has eluded Dharbek. Using his special gifts for storytelling and world-building, Angus Wells reaches new heights with a story as ambitious as it is broad in scope. Lords Of The Sky has all the action, adventure and magic a fantasy-lover could desire, and tackles social change, prejudice, the value of genuine friendship and the power of enduring love.

Ratings and reviews

I have read this book at least a dozen times since I was 10 years old and it never gets old. There is so much detail and such a rich story line. This is the kind of book I pick up and don't put down. The level of detail allows for full immersion.
