Long ago in distant lands, a great explosion struck the heart of the Daggar Mountain range, causing every race and city, as well as nearly all animal and plant life, to collapse. Seven-hundred years later there are very few who dare venture to the Winterlands. The elves massed a great evacuation going eastward across the ocean, and the dwarves tunneled their way underground in a ten-year mass effort called the great migration. The humans by and large tried to adapt but couldn't. Some left, others starved, a scant few continue to persevere. The main population of the Winterlands is now large clans of orcs and goblins who eat flesh of any they find, including other such races as themselves. The Winterlands are a cold and desolate place, but those creatures and races with a keen mind and strong will are able to find a way to survive. Hunt the Winterlands is a dark fantasy anthology featuring bone-chilling tales from K. N. Porter, Kurt Wilcken, Nate Barlow, Josh Brown, Gina Wood, Michael May, Alex Ness, Joe Monks, and Marc N. Kleinhenz. Cover by Scott P. Vaughn.

You asked for it, and you got it.One year ago, we published "Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" as an ebook, bringing together leading voices from ToweroftheHand.com, A Podcast of Ice and Fire, WinterIsComing.net, and InnattheCrossroads.com to blow open George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire." Now we're adding more special guests, more essays, and even behind-the-scenes information on just how this massive joint venture got off the ground in the first place.Even better, we went through all the old material and spruced it up. Think of this as the director's cut of the original book, polished and improved for your total reading pleasure.And what truly makes this a special collector's edition is the simple fact that it will only be available until November 1, 2013. After that day, THIS PRINT VERSION WILL NEVER BE OFFERED AGAIN -- not in any shape, not in any way, not in any form.Still want more info on what's on tap? Here's the original product listing for the original, ebook version of "A Flight of Sorrows." Please to enjoy:For the past seven years, we at ToweroftheHand.com have prided ourselves on being a premiere source of "A Song of Ice and Fire" analysis, information, and speculation. There has been nearly a metric ton of essays, forum posts, and encyclopedia entries logged at the site to date, all designed to give the hardest of the core fan the most rewarding experience possible while reading George R.R. Martin's seminal novels.And now we're taking all those years of mastery and applying them to an ebook."Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows" takes five of the site's most prolific authors - including its two founders - and draws out their best, most in-depth work yet. Unlike other "Ice and Fire" compendiums, the focus of these essays is on the narrative, character, and thematic elements of the story itself, as opposed to the literary aspects surrounding the books.Even better, the TOTH editors are joined by some of their good friends, who just so happen to be leading voices in the "Game of Thrones" community: A Podcast of Ice and Fire co-hosts Amin Javadi and Mimi Hoshut, WinterIsComing.net founder Phil Bicking, and "A Feast of Ice and Fire" co-author Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, along with noted fantasy editor and author Douglas Cohen.Altogether, the book's eight authors (and two special guests) cover a wide gamut of subjects and perspectives, from the most obvious to the most subtle, challenging readers to look at the novels they love so much in entirely new - and more enriching - ways.
