Omnibus collection of When the Gods Slept, Wolves of the Gods, and The Gods Awaken. Cover by Peter Elson.


The Complete Timuras encompasses all three books in Allan Cole's international best selling trilogy û The Tales Of The Timuras. The highly praised novels, published in thirteen languages, follow the tragic story of a damned friendship and a doomed world. A nanve village boy, Safar Timura, befriends an exiled prince, Iraj Protarus. Safar is a budding wizard of great power. Iraj is a young man destined to become the greatest conqueror of his age. They form a fast friendship. A friendship that will be tested by everything from the blackest of magic, to a quarrel over a beautiful girl. All this is played out against a world doomed by a force of incredible dark powers that threatens to swallow all that either man holds precious. The three books that make up the trilogy are: When The Gods Slept (Wizard Of The Winds, in the U.S.), Wolves Of The Gods and The Gods Awaken. The cover of the Wildside Edition comes with much thanks from the estate of the late, great Peter Elson, who limned the British covers of Allan's opus. Peter will be sorely missed by all who have enjoyed his masterful cover paintings over the years.
