'A master storyteller' Brandon Sanderson The New York Times
bestselling world of Osten Ard returns in the third Last King of
Osten Ard novel, as threats to the kingdom loom . . . The High
Throne of Erkynland is tottering, its royal family divided and
diminished. Queen Miriamele has been caught up in a brutal
rebellion in the south and thought to have died in a fiery attack.
Her grandson Morgan, heir to the throne, has been captured by one
of Utuk'ku's soldiers in the ruins of an abandoned city.
Miriamele's husband, King Simon, is overwhelmed by grief and
hopelessness, unaware that many of these terrible things have been
caused by Pasevalles, a murderous traitor inside Simon's own court
at the Hayholt. Meanwhile, a deadly army of Norns led by the
ageless, vengeful Queen Utuk'ku, has swept into Erkynland and
thrown down the fortress of Naglimund, slaughtering the inhabitants
and digging up the ancient grave of Ruyan the Navigator. Utuk'ku
plans to use the Navigator's fabled armor to call up the spirit of
Hakatri, the evil Storm King's brother. Even the Sithi, fairy-kin
to the Norns, are helpless to stop Utuk'ku's triumph as her armies
simultaneously march on the Hayholt and force their way into the
forbidden, ogre-guarded valley of Tanakiru - the Narrowdark - where
a secret waits that might bring Simon's people and their Sithi
allies salvation - or doom. PRAISE FOR THE WORLD OF OSTEN ARD
