A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero.Inside, however, Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons. His adventure will conclude in the second volume of The Wizard Knight, The Wizard.With this new series, Wolfe not only surpasses all the most popular genre writers of the last three decades, he takes on the legends of the past century, in a work that will be favorably compared with the best of J. R. R. Tolkien, E. R. Eddison, Mervyn Peake, and T. H. White. This is a book---and a series---for the ages, from perhaps the greatest living writer in (or outside) the fantasy genre.

Nella terra dove le stagioni possono durare intere generazioni divampa la guerra fra la bella e corrotta regina Cersei Lannister e i lord dei Sette Regni, fedeli ai coraggiosi signori di Grande Inverno. Intanto, nelle vaste pianure orientali, la principessa Daenerys Targaryen, ultima discendente della dinastia del Drago, si prepara con i suoi poteri straordinari alla riconquista del regno dei suoi avi. Ma la vera minaccia sono gli Estranei che avanzano da Nord, esseri misteriosi, per secoli ritenuti a torto frutto della fantasia. La fine della lunga estate è vicina, l'inverno sta arrivando e non durerà poco: solo un nuovo prodigio potrà squarciare le tenebre.
