Songs of the Earth by Elspeth Cooper

Gair is under a death sentence.

He can hear music – music with power – and in the Holy City that means only one thing: he’s a witch, and he’s going to be burnt at the stake.  Even if he could escape, the Church Knights and their witchfinder would be hot on his heels while his burgeoning power threatens to tear him apart from within.

There is no hope… none, but a secretive order, themselves persecuted almost to destruction.  If Gair can escape, if he can master his own growing, dangerous abilities, if he can find the Guardians of the Veil, then maybe he will be safe.  Or maybe he’ll discover that his fight has only just begun.

Songs of the Earth is the most compelling debut fantasy novel since Patrick Rothfuss first hit the shelves in 2007 with the stunning The Name of the Wind.  Combining superb characterisation with an epic story, it is beautifully told and engaging from the very first word.

Collectors Notes

• Songs of the Earth is book 1 in the Wild Hunt Trilogy
• The hardback edition print run is likely to be small as Gollancz published the trade paperback on the same day (16 June 2011)
