The Ill-Made Mute Publisher's Summary

Dive into worlds as captivating as Tolkien's Middle-earth with 'The Ill-Made Mute'. Experience the same immersive awe you felt reading 'The Lord of the Rings' through tales rich in wonder and adventure. Embrace the journey into extraordinary realms. Feel the magic anew. Your escape begins as soon as you press play.

The stormriders land their winged stallions on the airy battlements of Isse Tower. Far below, the superstitious servants who dwell in the fortress's lower depths tell tales of wicked creatures inhabiting the world outside - a world they have only glimpsed. Yet it is the least of the lowly, a mute, scarred, and utterly despised foundling, who dares to scale the tower, sneak aboard a windship and then dive from the sky.

But the hearth-side tails are all true. Unhuman wights are real in all their legions. They haunt every pool, every turn in the road, threatening and tormenting travelers. A perilous journey begins.

The Ill-made Mute Special Edition is revised and extended with extras, including Dart-Thornton's introduction and fragments of her early writing.

"Not since Tolkien's 'The Fellowship of the Ring' fell into my hands have I been so impressed by a beautifully spun fantasy."

~Andre Norton, Grand Master of Science Fiction.
