About the Author
Mary Gentle is one of the world's most acclaimed writers of fantasy and science fiction; Ash, the largest single fantasy work ever - longer than The Lord of the Rings - combines the authentic details of Bernard Cornwell and the magical storytelling of Terry Goodkind; both hardback and trade paperback were Gollancz bestsellers. Mary has a number of academic degrees, including an MA in War Studies, and has hands-on experience of sword-fighting and armour, amongst many other useful talents. Mary lives in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
