Lord Brother: Part Two of The Ryel Saga (Revised and Expanded)

by Carolyn Kephart

Overview

"Intricately layered and exotic" ~Robin Hobb

For almost half of his twenty-six years Ryel Mirai has studied the Art in a bleak citadel on a barren plain. He returns to the World to rediscover the long-lost spell that will release his mentor from the wraithworld of the Void, but a malignant sorcerer likewise imprisoned has enlisted the aid of Lord Michael Essern, Ryel's deadly rival, to find the spell first. Amid dangers, joys and temptations, Ryel encounters unlikely allies and unforeseen enemies, and learns that he may well gain all that he wishes...although perhaps not as he wished it.

WYSARD and its sequel LORD BROTHER have been critically acclaimed as lyrical, exotic, archetypal tales of love and magic. The current 2024 digital editions, newly emended and expanded, are intended to supersede any previous iterations.

"Carolyn Kephart may not be a great name in fantasy, but she should be!" ~In The Library Reviews
