Synopsis

RIDDLE, RING, AND QUEST In Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, tales are told of strange lights, of mysterious roads...of wondrous folk from enchanted realms. All these are hidden from mortal men, and those who have the gift to look on them are both blessed and doomed... THE WINDMASTER Young David Sullivan never dreamed that the myths of marvels and magic he loved were real. But in his blood was the gift of Second Sight. And near his family’s rural farm lay an invisible track between worlds...where he would soon become a pawn in the power game of the Windmaster, an evil usurper among those the Celts called the Sidhe. David’s only protection would be a riddle’s answer and an enchanted ring...as he began his odyssey of danger into things unknowing and unknown... “A SPECIAL MAGIC...A DELIGHT FROM START TO FINISH.” —Sharon Webb “WINDMASTER’S BANE has heart, an easy humor, and the simple wisdom of compassion.” —Michael Bishop

About this title

About the Author:

Tom Deitz grew up in Young Harris, Georgia, and earned bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from the University of Georgia. His major in medieval English (it was as close as he could get to Tolkien) and his fondness for castles, Celtic art and costumes led Mr. Deitz to the Society for Creative Anachronism, of which he is still a member. A fair-to-middlin artist, Mr. Deitz is also a car nut, has recently taken up horseback riding and hunting, (neither with remarkable success), and still thinks every now and then about building a castle.

Review:

Vivid descriptions of Sidhe cruelty and strange shape-changing beasts, and it transmits a strong sense of the dread engendered by following the Crimson Road leading to, and perhaps away from, death. Publishers Weekly --Publishers Weekly

Dietz writes with his usual intelligence, imagination, and skillful use of a regional setting. --Booklist
