Com 31 anos, Chris Wooding alcançou o patamar dos escritores de literatura fantástica mais consagrados em todo o mundo. A sua produção tem acompanhado um percurso dedicado à escrita, contando com um acervo de vinte livros e vários contos. «Imparável seria uma forma de descrever o mundo inigualável, complexo e estruturalmente intrincado de Wooding», assim dita o Publishing News. O autor cresceu a ler C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Orson Scott Card, Terry Brooks e muitos outros autores de ficção científica e fantasia. Aos dezasseis anos mergulhou na palavra escrita e aos dezanove viria a publicar o seu primeiro livro. O Ladrão de Tempestades leva-nos para um local desconhecido, algures nas águas do oceano onde existe uma ilha - Orokos - que alberga, há cerca de mil anos, uma sociedade isolada. Profundamente desigual, com diferentes tipos de classes, é uma cidade-prisão, governada por Patrício, um ditador e regulada pelo Protectorado e pela polícia secreta. No centro da ilha está uma torre onde se originam os furacões de rapina, que são emanações de energia assentes em leis de probabilidade com perigosos poderes, como impedir alguém de respirar, transformar as pessoas em animais e outras atrocidades. Assim, um grupo de rebeldes tenta o impossível- libertar-se do jugo do ditador e sair da ilha.
