From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author
Walter Jon Williams comes an adventurous epic fantasy
about a man who is forced to leave his comfortable life
and find his fortune among goddesses, pirates, war, and
dragons.
Rogue. Joker. Lover. Reluctant soldier.
Quillifer is a young man, serially in love and studying
law, when a family tragedy throws him into the world to
seek his fortune. A charmer rather than a fighter, he
soon finds himself embroiled with a bandit gang, caught
up in vicious court intrigues, and the plaything of an
angry, beautiful, and very jealous goddess. While he
struggles to establish himself in the capital, the
country finds itself pitched into a civil war, and
Quillifer, a unwilling soldier at best, finds himself
caught up in the action, and able to tip the scales of
fortune.
Quillifer, with its engaging hero and his exploits with
lovers, brawlers, warriors, and privateers, is a book
that bursts with life. It’s the first volume in a new
epic fantasy by bestselling and award-winning author
Walter Jon Williams.
