Authors of those works, such as Stephen R. Donaldson, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind, come immediately to mind. Now add David Farland to that list, whose epic fantasy series began with "The Runelords." Praise for David Farland's epic series: "In Br"otherhood of the Wolf," David Farland continues the intriguing premise he established in "The Runelords," but with more intensity in every way. . . Clearly, this is becoming a masterwork of history-spanning fantasy." --Kevin J. Anderson, co-author of "Dune: House Atreides" "The Runelords" is a first rate tale, an epic fantasy that more than delivers on its promise. Read it soon and treat yourself to an adventure you won't forget." --Terry Brooks "T"he Runelords" heralds the arrival of a serious contender for the Jordan crown. This book is full of magic and myth, valor, treachery and bravery; all wrapped around a masterful epic adventure. This massive tale is woven together with the skill of a superior storyteller, making it a the start of a continuing story that will thrill readers for years to come." -Michael Stackpole
