With this  the first book in an extraordinary new epic trilogy  the Nebula Awardnominated author of The Death of the Necromancer and Wheel of the Infinite dazzles as never before -- bringing a stark and breathtaking reality to an imperiled world of magic. . . . Ile-Rien faces the grim specter of its own imminent demise. Once a fertile and prosperous land  it is now under attack by the Gardier  a mysterious army whose storm-black airships appear from nowhere to strike without warning. Every weapon in the arsenal of Ile-Riens revered wizards has proven useless -- their magic quickly identified by the enemy and rendered instantly impotent  their conventional arms spontaneously and inexplicably exploded. And the last hope of a magical realm under siege rests within a childs plaything. The tiny sphere was created for Tremaine Valiardes amusement when she was a child of twelve  presented to her by her uncle Arisilde  the greatest of all sorcerers. But the mage -- among the first to identify the impending Gardier threat  along with Tremaines notorious father  Nicholas  and one of the first to die because of it -- secreted a power within the orb capable of defeating the invaders. And now  years later  it falls to a young woman lacking any magical knowledge and abil-ity to release it. Tremaines initial attempts have disastrous consequences  transporting her to a strange world far removed from anything she has ever experienced or imagined. In this terrible and wondrous place -- where primitive magic cultures lag far behind Ile-Riens sophisticated sorcery  where noble warriors clash with dark wizards  where starving demons prowl for prey and the Gardier prepare their assaults -- Tremaine must somehow unlock the spheres powerful secrets . . . before the slow and monstrous awakening of a hideous evil is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946717540405,"sku":"ByrdShop_0380977885","price":110.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780380977888.jpg?v=1769962949","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-wizard-hunters-book-one-of-the-fall-of-ilerien-the-fall-of-ilerien-bk-1","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
