The Summer Tree

'THE ESSENCE OF HIGH FANTASY' LOCUS

Five ordinary people. One shattered destiny. A world on the brink of darkness.

When a mysterious mage named Loren Silvercloak appears at the University of Toronto, he pulls five ordinary young men and women into Fionavar-the First of All Worlds, where every other world's fate begins.

What they find is a land trembling under the shadow of Rakoth Maugrim, the fallen god whose chains are breaking at last. And each of them-Kim, Paul, Kevin, Jennifer, and Dave-has a role to play in the rising storm, whether they understand it yet or not.

As ancient prophecies awaken and long‑buried powers stir, the five are swept into a sweeping tapestry of magic, love, sacrifice, and war. Their choices will shape not only Fionavar's future, but the fate of every world connected to it-including our own.

Mythic, moving, and utterly immersive, The Summer Tree launches Guy Gavriel Kay's legendary epic fantasy trilogy-beloved by readers for over two decades. Perfect for fans of George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch and Tolkien.
