Product Description
KING OF KINGS, LORD OVER MEN AND DEMONS ALIKE
Only one ruler had ever held that title, and now Iraj Protarus, an orphaned prince exiled to a small village high in the Valley of the Clouds, dreamed of being the next great conqueror. The key to his destiny would be Safar Timura, a youth with an awesome gift for sorcery, whose visions foretold Iraj's rise to power. And in those visions, Safar stood at Iraj's side, his soul-blasting spells enabling his friend to attain his dreams.
But Safar had other visions with darker portents, and his spellbound knowledge raised secrets better left buried. The road the two men followed would be rich in titles and fortunes, but it would also be rich in death and disaster, in intrigue--and in unforgivable betrayal . . .
Let the Wizard of the Winds sweep you away with a tale of such power and passion that you will forget every other fantasy you've ever read. Enter a world where humans and demons are deadly enemies, where the destiny of entire dynasties is buffeted mercilessly by the stormy winds of sorcery powerful beyond imagination. Like the masters who have come before him, Allan Cole has created a haunting and unique world peopled with characters you will hate to love and love to hate . . . a unique world whose siren song will be irresistible to fantasy lovers everywhere . . .
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was very disappointed int this book. I look forward to non-european based fantasy, but this book didn't deliver. The demons were pretty one dimensional as villains, the plot predictable and forced and the payoff at the end wasn't worth the bother
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the beginning of a truly lovely series. The minute I finished reading it, I was champing at the bit to read the second. The characters are beautifully developed, almost Shakespearean in scope, and the world, based as it is on the ancient Persian empire of Tamerlaine, is rich, magical, and completely engrossing. Fantasy of the highest order.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was originally attracted to this book by the cover. The art work is terrific. I'm a big fan of good fantasy and lately I haven't found anything really worth reading until I came upon Allan Coles's "Wizard of the Winds". I feel that the idea of the demons having an almost human like existance is what I like about the book the most. I'm tired of the stories that have the standard formula demon's, evil spawn, monster's, whatever, and your standard good guys. The characters are very believable and the dialog and narrative are superb. Very enjoyable!!!

Unsual idea of demon appearance and mentality
Everything about the book was superb in nature except the author's idea of what a demon should be. The idea of demons having a human-like society was too strange to me. Read more
