A tale of shadow and smoke; of storm and circumstance. Bitter winds cry from the north, forcing old men to seek the comforts of their hearths, fearing the stories of their youths. Ganbaatar of the Steppe is such a man. Haunted by his past, Ganbaatar, the patriarch of his clan, seeks a calm and quiet life with his kin, away from the cycles of the world. His Nephew, Gantömriin, challenges that dream with his wanderlust, alongside the fabled, yet mysterious, hunter, Anchin. As Ganbaatar and his folk cling to their peaceful reclusion, strangers bearing strange stories appear, threatening to thrust Ganbaatar and his people back into the chains of duty and the marring of conflict. Fell things lurk in the west, bubbling and oozing over the land. Rumors of ancient horrors trouble the minds of old heroes and the young fear the wrestling of their futures against the cold, black façade of eventuality. Grave things move throughout the vault of history. Blood is as bread in the Dark. When the Walls Fell is the first installment in the Of Wind and Dragons series. The narrative chronicles the lives of several people, set against a fully imagined, romantic backdrop, as they struggle against the threat of war, persecution, domination and displacement. In it's most ambitious scope, Of Wind and Dragons is, especially expressed through the themes of dogmatic and religious fervor, devotion or the lack thereof, an examination of the human mind, as it deals with regret, fear, love, pride and the inevitable failures of one's life. Though, at it's core, the book is a story about families; what it means to be a son, what it means to be a father, a mother, a daughter...friends.
