From the Publisher

After years of traditional quest fantasy, I've gotten a bit tired of the same old same old. So when Allan Cole turned in his outline for the Timura trilogy, which began with Wizard of the Winds and continues with Wolves of the Gods, I was thrilled. It swept me right back to the days when I devoured books such as Mary Renault's The King Must Die, and although I hardly ever edit fantasy, I just had to sign up this series. A vast world, great magic, neat characters, and thoroughly nasty villain--what more could I ask to make work feel like a vacation?

From the Inside Flap

nt epic fantasy inspired by Omar Khayyam's The Rubaiyat, The Wolves of the Gods is a world of breathtaking beauty and savagery, of noble sacrifice and base betrayal, a world where the most powerful magic of all, for good and evil, lies in the divided hearts of humans and demons . . .

A nameless evil stalks the land, preying on all that lives, human and demon alike. Only one man has the power to stem the ravening tide: Safar Timura, greatest wizard of the age, whose matchless magic once raised Iraj Protarus to the throne of all Esmir . . . and then, when king turned tyrant, destroyed him.

Now Safar is done with the deadly intrigues of courts and kings. Back in his mountain home of Kyrania, he wants only to be left alone. But when a brutal murder smashes his solitude, Safar must lead his people on a desperate trek to safety--a perilous journey to fabled, far-off Syrapis guided only by a magical vision and the words of a sorcerer long dead.

The road leads straight
