The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps

Critically acclaimed author Kai Ashante Wilson makes his commercial debut with this striking, wondrous tale of gods and mortals, magic and steel, and life and death that will reshape how you look at sword and sorcery.


Since leaving his homeland, the earthbound demigod Demane has been labeled a sorcerer. With his ancestors' artifacts in hand, the Sorcerer follows the Captain, a beautiful man with song for a voice and hair that drinks the sunlight.

The two of them are the descendants of the gods who abandoned the Earth for Heaven, and they will need all the gifts those divine ancestors left to them to keep their caravan brothers alive.

The one safe road between the northern oasis and southern kingdom is stalked by a necromantic terror. Demane may have to master his wild powers and trade humanity for godhood if he is to keep his brothers and his beloved captain alive.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This rich, delicately crafted world is stocked with vibrant characters… and supports a powerful story told in a delightful series of wrenching moments.” —Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"[The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps] shows that fantasy still has some really fascinating places to go." —Charlie Jane Anders, io9

The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps... is the story equivalent of the shot heard around the world.” —Marty Cahill, BookRiot

“A tale which is so dense and rich in its depictions of the various different societies and places that you end it feeling as if you've been immersed in its world.” —Paul Simpson, Sci-Fi Bulletin

"Wilson isn't the first black writer to demonstrate the possibilities of mixing traditional fantasy tropes with African-American culture, of course, but few have concentrated so brilliantly on the linguistic implications of doing so." —Strange Horizons

“At its heart, Sorcerer of the Wildeeps is a beautiful yet brutal fairy tale about gods and monsters, loneliness and love. At 208 pages, the journey may not seem far but it will stay with you for a long time afterwards.” —Michaela Gray, Geek Syndicate
