Griffins and humans will meet for their final battle in the epic conclusion to the Griffin Mage Trilogy.

Paranormal with a real bite. For readers who loved Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver trilogy.

Orphaned, two sisters are left to find their own way. Sweet and proper, Karah's future seems secure at a glamorous Flower House. She could be pampered for the rest of her life... if she agrees to play their game. Nemienne, neither sweet nor proper, has fewer choices. Left with no alternative, she accepts a mysterious mage's offer of an apprenticeship. Agreeing means a home and survival, but can Nemienne trust the mage? With the arrival of a foreign bard into the quiet city, dangerous secrets are unearthed, and both sisters find themselves at the center of a plot that threatens not only to upset their newly found lives, but also to destroy their kingdom.

The desert winds have come to the village of Minas Ford. Griffins, creatures of fire, have appeared in a burning haze - searing the sky a blinding white and scorching the earth to parched, barren sand. These majestic beasts, half-lion, half-eagle, spread the arid desert wherever they roam. Iaor, the King of Feierabiand, will not tolerate the destruction of his people's farmland. He means to drive the griffins from his domain - whether by negotiation or brute force. But not all those who encounter the griffins fear them. Kes, a timid village girl, is summoned to heal the King of the Griffins himself. She will discover her affinity with these creatures, and come to realise that the menace they flee is even more deadly than the blazing fires of the desert. This omnibus edition contains: LORD OF THE CHANGING WINDS, LAND OF THE BURNING SANDS and LAW OF THE BROKEN EARTH

The Griffin Mage omnibus combines Patricia McKillip's lush writing with the thrilling elements of Naomi Novik's Temaraire series and Anne McCaffrey's DragonRiders of Pern. It tells the story of a young girl in peaceful Feierabiand whose life changes when griffins arrive, seeking a healer who is not quite human.

Set in a perilous and hostile environment, the story follows a turun explorer who stumbles upon a nearly extinct human colony.

Die Greifen haben die Macht übernommen, nachdem sie einst vor den Eismagiern geflohen sind. Gerent, ein Casmantier, sieht in der Niederlage seines Landes eine Chance zur Flucht. Doch die Greifen sind rachsüchtig, und Gerent wird zum Schlüsselakteur im verzweifelten Kampf gegen den letzten Eismagier.

Der Tag, an dem die Greifen kommen und den Wind der Wüste mit sich bringen, ändert alles. Bis zu diesem Tag war Kes zufrieden gewesen, hatte einem ruhigen Leben als Heilerin in ihrem kleinen Dorf entgegengesehen. Doch nun ist es der König der Greifen, der ihre Dienste braucht, und er flieht vor einer Gefahr, die noch tödlicher ist als die Glut des brennenden Windes.
