Purchase options and add-ons

In a land ruled by prophecy and the whims of gods, a young man finds himself at the heart of a war he barely understands, wielding powers he may never be able to control.
Isak is a white-eye, born bigger, more charismatic, and more powerful than normal men. But with that power comes an unpredictable temper and an inner rage he cannot always hide. Brought up as a wagon-brat, feared and despised by those around him, he dreams of a place in the army and a chance to live his own life. But when the call comes, it isn’t to be a soldier, for the gods have other plans for the intemperate teenager: Isak has been chosen as heir-elect to the brooding Lord Bahl, the white-eye Lord of the Farlan.
The white-eyes were created by the gods to bring order out of chaos, for their magnetic charm and formidable strength makes them natural leaders of men. Lord Bahl is typical of the breed: he inspires and oppresses those around him in equal measure. He can be brusque and impatient, a difficult mentor for a boy every bit as volatile as he is.
But now is the time for the forging of empires. With mounting envy and malice, the men who would themselves be kings watch Isak, chosen by gods as flawed as the humans who serve them, as he is shaped and molded to fulfill the prophecies that circle him like scavenger birds. Divine fury and mortal strife is about to spill over and paint the world with blood.
The Stormcaller is the first book in a powerful new series that combines inspired world-building, epoch-shattering battles, and high emotion to dazzling effect.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

British literary agent Lloyd begins this dense and involved sword and sorcery debut by introducing Isak, a penniless young man with no fixed home who serves as a slave to his resentful, unhappy father. Worse, Isak is a white-eye, born with distinctive eyes, a large frame, unusual strength and an exceedingly quick temper. Isak's world changes in an instant when Aracnan, an immortal sorcerer, tries to offer Isak a mysterious scroll. Within a day, Isak has become heir to Lord Bahl of Farlan, and he learns that he is a nascent mage and the focus of a thousand-year-old prophecy. Whether Isak is willing or able to fulfill that prophecy is just the beginning of this tale. Lloyd pours enough testosterone into his high fantasy to power past a few inconsistencies, creating a fine start to a reported five-book series. (Nov.)

Exceptionally enjoyable epic fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008

Verified Purchase

I had been intrigued enough about Stormcaller by reading the blurb, I put it on pre-order. I got it yesterday and finished quickly. The world is interesting with significant depth, the characters make you curious to know more, the story is epic while retaining a personal touch. I haven't enjoyed the start of a new series so much since the Sword of Truth. Also Pyr did a very nice job with the book and the cover, and it looks the the cover art for the upcoming book Twilight Herald will be similarly great.

Amazing series.

The story, characters are excellent. I liked the book.
However, the spelling and use of the wrong word was on every other page. I just found it hard to believe that this book could get published without having someone proof read it first.

What a wonderful surprise!

Never have heard of this author before. Came across this book at Barnes and Nobles but got it via Amazon Market Place because it was much cheaper.

What a wonderful surprise, what a story. From a nobody to become an heir to a ruler, the story is just captivating, the pace is fast moving. It really deserves a 4 1/2 star.

A great start to what promises to be a brilliant new series

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2009

This is a great book and Lloyd though young he his has managed to write a great book with one of the most fascinating protagonists I've read in a long time. This book has just about everything a Fantasy lover could ever want, an amazing cast of interesting characters, some really great magic that promises to develop well in Lloyd's later books and is truly action packed with some great battle scenes as well as some assassination and politics thrown into the mix as well. Seriously, what more could you ask for?

The great main protagonist is a boy named Isak, Isak is no ordinary boy though, he is a White Eye, one of gods chosen to rule the world of men. Isak doesn't start of as a ruler though he is a wagon brat who rides from place to place selling his wares. That is until he steps foot in the city of Tirah were the Duke, Lord Bahl who is also a White Eye recognizes that Isak is to be he successor and rule over the Farlin people. This is were Isak's story begins and were he will face constant danger from friends and foe alike, Isak must be careful also for he is not the only one in danger the friends and people who are around will face danger too, but not just from their enemies but from Isak himself, for the temper of the White Eyes is deadly to behold.

Suprisingly good book, keeps it interesting!

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2009

A really fantastic book. My Husband bought all 3 and begged me to read them. All I saw were doorstops! Finally I sat down and started in. Wow, this is an exciting series. Isak is a nobody, with not a lot to look forward to, when life changes in a BIG way! The evolution of the charactors is believeable, the gods and goddesses were well portrayed. The fight scenes and battle are amazing, you really get an idea of how Isak feels. All 3 of the books are good. I am a fan of Ambecrombie and Weeks, if you like those or the Mistborne series, then you are going to enjoy this book. I highly recommend all 3 of the Twilight Reign books. These are worth reading and worth owning. I will be re-reading this one soon.
