About the Book:

Award-winning author Jim C. Hines delivers a deeply personal epic in Kitemaster. In this labor of love written over twenty years, Hines whisks readers away to a world where relentless winds shape destiny.

Nial Sarnin is twenty-one years old, far too young to have lost her beloved husband Jika. One year after Jika's death, Nial is preparing to fly a kite sewn from the shirt Jika wore at their wedding, to carry his spirit to the stars and beyond.

Instead, Nial finds herself launched on an adventure that will change the fate of her world. The spirit kite doesn't flow at the mercy of the winds, but responds to Nial's control, marking her as a Kitemaster--a rare and valuable gift on a magical world where the winds forever blow.

Her powers bring her to the attention of Captain Wolf of the kiteship Midnight Rain. Wolf has joined forces with the runaway Prince Vikaan to attempt to thwart Queen Kavaya's plan to conquer the skies and start a war against neighboring kingdoms.

Nial could be the key to stopping Queen Kavaya and saving countless lives--including the lives of her own family--but only if she can learn to truly understand her gift before the Queen and her agents rain death across the kingdoms.

Every gust of wind in this inspiring tale promises hope and a chance to reshape a world on the brink in this spellbinding adventure of loss, resilience, and transformation.
