On the isolated world of Windhaven, flight is reserved for an elite group of messengers who glide between island communities using treasured wings passed down through generations. Maris, the daughter of a fisherman, dreams of becoming a flyer despite tradition denying her the opportunity. Her struggle challenges centuries of custom and transforms the future of her world in this sweeping tale of freedom, courage, and social change.
EugeneBookStore Summary
Windhaven is a beautifully written blend of science fiction and fantasy by George R. R. Martin and Lisa Tuttle. Rather than focusing on epic battles, the novel explores personal ambition, societal change, and the cost of challenging tradition. It remains one of Martin’s finest early collaborative works and a favorite among readers who appreciate thoughtful, character-driven speculative fiction.
Collector Notes
Originally published in 1981, Windhaven has become a modern classic of speculative fiction. This 1993 Bantam Books edition introduced the novel to a new generation of readers during George R. R. Martin’s rise in popularity. It is especially desirable for collectors seeking Martin’s pre-A Song of Ice and Fire works and collaborations with Lisa Tuttle.
