[version history]




“A fascinating, lush fantasy world...a very rich stand-alone novel...that marvelously blends character and
place.”
Denver Post

Every year, the Wheel of the Infinite must be painstakingly remade to ensure peace and harmony. And
every hundred years, the Wheel and the world become one. But now a black storm ravages the beautiful
mandala, and a woman with a shadowy past—an exile, murderer, and traitor—has been summoned
back to put the world right. For if Maskelle and the swordsman Rian cannot stop the Wheel’s
accelerating disintegration—then all that is, was, and will be... will end.

“Full of mysticism and unforgettable characters.... WHEEL OF THE INFINITE will only enhance
[Wells’s] reputation.”
Dallas Morning News




Praise for
MARTHA WELLS and WHEEL OF THE INFINITE



“WHEEL OF THE INFINITE is a book readers will remember and Wells is an author who leaves us
eager for more.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Fast-paced, witty, and inventive . . . The vividly imagined Celestial Empire’s peril is made all the more
dramatic by the characters’ sarcastic, reasonable conversations, and by their very human responses to
inhuman dangers; there is real reading pleasure here.”
Publishers Weekly

“What Jack Vance is to science fiction, Martha Wells is rapidly becoming to fantasy . .. Wells creates a
fantasy city so well-crafted and rich, it becomes almost a living character. Better even than her previous
Nebula-nominated novel, The Death of the Necromancer, WHEEL OF THE INFINITE shines with
sparkling prose and interesting characters ...Wells is the brightest new light in the fantasy field in some
years, and WHEEL OF THE INFINITE is an excellent novel that aptly demonstrates her powerful
wattage.”
Portland Oregonian
“Superior fantasy work from one of the best... In a field teeming with clones, retreads, and solipsistic
doorstoppers, Wells dares—and gloriously succeeds—to be different. What more do you need?”
Kirkus Reviews (* Starred Review *)

“Wells never fails to intrigue, amuse, and fascinate ... I highly recommend anything by Martha
Wells—and I wish she wrote faster!”
Jennifer Roberson
