✦ Synopsis

"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.

Note: The current emended second edition, revised March 2013, supersedes all previous versions of LORD BROTHER and should be regarded as the standard text of the novel.

WYSARD and its sequel LORD BROTHER have been critically acclaimed as lyrical, exotic, archetypal tales of love and magic. A single-volume edition combining the duology is available as THE RYEL SAGA: A TALE OF LOVE AND MAGIC.
