In the enchanting world of Windhaven, nestled amidst the vast ocean, a unique group of individuals holds immense prestige: the silver-winged flyers. These extraordinary humans, born on intricately crafted wings, brave the treacherous seas, enduring shifting winds and sudden storms, in their mission to bring news, gossip, songs, and stories to the far-flung communities of Windhaven. Among them, Maris of Lesser Amberly, though born as a fisherman's daughter, carries the bloodline of the star sailors who founded her world, as well as the flyer family who adopted her. Deep within her heart, a burning desire to soar high above the water, embracing the buffeting currents, courses through her veins. However, it is her stepbrother, destined to inherit the irreplaceable wings upon reaching adulthood, who dreams of pursuing a different path. Undeterred by tradition and the law, Maris dares to challenge the status quo, advocating for the selection of flyers based on merit rather than inheritance. Fueled by her unwavering determination, she embarks on a fierce battle to establish flying competitions and training academies for those not born into the flyer-born classes. With unwavering courage, she wages a relentless struggle for change, facing countless obstacles and setbacks. Yet, even as her efforts yield success, a new threat emerges, casting a shadow over the world she fought so hard to join. A brewing revolution looms, threatening to destroy everything she holds dear and extinguish her proud, rebellious spirit. It demands an ultimate sacrifice from Maris, one that may mean the sacrifice of her very existence. Yet, in the face of adversity, she remains resolute. From the united imaginations of two acclaimed authors, George R. R. Martin, the #1 New York Times bestseller known for his epic Game of Thrones series, and Lisa Tuttle, the award-winning author of Lost Futures, Windhaven has been transformed into a breathtaking full-color graphic novel. Adapted by Lisa Tuttle, illustrated by Marvel Comics artist Elsa Charretier, and a must-have for fans of classic fantasy fiction and breathtaking artwork, this captivating tale unfolds in stunning detail, transporting readers to a world of wonder and adventure.
