Griffins!

Land of the Burning SandsAt Orbit, we love to try something new… and in this case, the something new was Griffins. We are publishing Lord of the Changing Winds and Land of the Burning Sands in May and June.

When I first read Rachel, I was instantly transported to my favorite book as a child, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip.  I thought Rachel’s story of the relationship between griffins and mortals in a world where magic and science coincide was too amazing to pass up.  So of course, I bought the whole series – just so I could read it in one go!

They are both out now so you can grab them at your nearest bookstore – and the final book in the trilogy, Law of the Broken Earth, will be out this December.  So all three books out in six months.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on Lord of the Changing Winds. I’ve not read any fantasy that really uses griffins as a focal point, so it’ll be interesting to see how Neumeier handles it. Can’t wait!

  3. I was thrilled to see Land of the Burning Sands on the shelf at teh store the other week. So guess what I had to do… yeah, I picked it up. :) I am looking forward to reading it and seeing where we go.
