The Scroll of Years: A Gaunt and Bone Novel
"Reading Chris Willrich feels a bit like playing Dungeons and Dragons® with a drunken Will Shakespeare. Great fun, and beautifully written."—Saladin Ahmed, Hugo award-nominated author of Throne of the Crescent Moon"Willrich puts the mystery back in magic and the majesty back in dragons. Gaunt and Bone are the Han and Leia of heroic fantasy." —Howard Tayler, creator of the Hugo award-nominated Schlock Mercenary“Willrich’s beautifully written debut paints a vivid, richly imagined world populated by delightfully memorable characters. . . . This fantastical quest story contains witty narration, well-drawn characters, and a fast-moving plot.”—Publishers Weekly "A literary take on classic swords and sorcery, combining the droll tone and the adventure of Fritz Leiber with the lushness and profoundness of Catherynne M. Valente. Persimmon Gaunt and Imago Bone are just as delightful when pondering poetry or philosophy as when stealing a magic sword." —Scott H. Andrews, editor of the acclaimed magazine Beneath Ceaseless Skies“I loved it. A polished blend of action, compelling characters, fantastic world building, and masterful prose.”—Howard Andrew Jones, author ofThe Desert of Souls
