"Step into a sister world. "
5 stars"

The Summer Tree is a beautiful blending of Celtic and Norse mythology built on strong archetypes of the human psyche.

Beautifully crafter The Summer Tree takes the reader from our world into a land where our greatest legends live.

The Summer Tree is well written and is a story easy to lose oneself into. Full of vibrant characters there is something for every person, love, hate, heroic battles and self sacrifice.

Guy Gavriel Kay worked alongside Christopher Tolkein to complete The Silmarillion and it shows in this epic fantasy novel which draws from the same pool of inspiration.

Description

The first volume in Guy Gavriel Kay’s stunning fantasy masterwork, now reissued with the beautiful original cover art by Martin Springett. Five men and women find themselves flung into the magical land of Fionavar, First of all Worlds. They have been called there by the mage Loren Silvercloak, and quickly find themselves drawn into the complex tapestry of events. For Kim, Paul, Kevin, Jennifer and Dave all have their own part to play in the coming battle against the forces of evil led by the fallen god Rakoth Maugrim and his dark hordes. Guy Gavriel Kay’s classic epic fantasy plays out on a truly grand scale, and has already been delighting fans of imaginative fiction for twenty years.
