Chosen by divine forces and thrust into a struggle that will determine the fate of nations, a warrior must answer the call of destiny. Ancient powers stir, rival kingdoms prepare for war, and dark enemies threaten the balance of the world. Bearing the banners of the Sa’yan, the reluctant hero embarks upon a perilous journey filled with battles, intrigue, sorcery, and sacrifice as he seeks to fulfill a prophecy that could save—or destroy—the realm.
EugeneBookstore Summary
Banners of the Sa’yan is a classic example of early 1980s epic fantasy, combining heroic quests, divine intervention, military conflict, and richly imagined world-building. Published during the height of fantasy’s post-Tolkien boom, the novel delivers the kind of grand adventure that appealed to readers of traditional sword-and-sorcery and epic fantasy alike. The dramatic Michael Whelan-style cover art and DAW paperback presentation make it especially appealing to collectors of vintage fantasy.
Collector Notes
DAW fantasy paperbacks from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain popular with collectors, particularly lesser-known titles that had relatively modest print runs. Copies of Banners of the Sa’yan are less commonly encountered today than many mainstream fantasy releases from the same era. Original DAW editions with bright, intact covers are increasingly desirable.
