A Flight of Sorrows Revealed

Tower of the Hand: A Flight of Sorrows is coming out a month from today, and to celebrate, we’re letting you all in on a little secret: the book’s complete lineup (which, we’re delighted to finally share, includes a few more friendly faces from the Ice and Fire community).

Here we go:

    Foreword – Phil Bicking, editor-in-chief of WinterIsComing.net
    And Now It Begins…

    Introduction – Marc N. Kleinhenz, editor
    All along the Watchtower

    “Under the Bleeding Star” – Stefan Sasse, essayist at Tower of the Hand and co-host of the Boiled Leather Audio Hour
    On the role of prophecy in songs of ice and fire

    “Daggers in the Dark” – Miles Schneiderman, essayist at Tower of the Hand
    The ultimate fates of protagonists, from A Game of Thrones to A Dance with Dragons

    “The Prince That Illyrio Promised” – Alexander Smith, co-founder of Tower of the Hand
    Exploring the identity of – and the aim of the conspiracy around – Aegon Targaryen

    “A Game of Beds” – Amin Javadi, co-host of A Podcast of Ice and Fire
    Marital infidelity, adultery, and fandom theories in A Song of Ice and Fire

    “Every Case Is Different, Every Case Is Alike” – John Jasmin, co-founder of Tower of the Hand
    Investigating murder investigations in Westeros

    “You Win or You Sit the Bench” – Douglas Cohen, author and former editor of Realms of Fantasy magazine
    Power ranking – NFL style – the top contenders in the game of thrones

    “The Narratives of Winter” – Marc N. Kleinhenz, editor
    Discerning the structure of Martin’s saga and teasing out its final act

    “The Telltale Knight” – Mimi Hoshut, co-host of A Podcast of Ice and Fire
    The narrative parallels and foreshadowing of the Tales of Dunk and Egg

    Afterword – Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, co-author of InnattheCrossroads.com and A Feast of Ice and Fire
    Just Desserts

    Appendix I: What’s a Game of Thrones without the Tower of the Hand?
    Appendix II: The Creaking Door of House Manwoody

As you can see, it’s a packed house, and we’re excited to squeeze you into the nerdfest, as well.

(Note: the two appendices are previously published material – one at Corona’s Coming Attractions, the other at Tower of the Hand itself – that interviews the respective braintrusts behind TOTH and A Podcast of Ice and Fire. It’s collected here to heighten the reader’s enjoyment of these two wacky-but-popular ASOIAF staples.)

A Flight of Sorrows goes on sale on October 13th, exclusively at Amazon, for $5.99.
