The Dragonbone Chair

Book One of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn

Tad Williams

A war between dark sorcery and the peaceful land of Osten Ard is about to begin as the High King is dying. The undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi sees this as a chance to regain his lost realm by making a pact with the newly ascended king. Despite knowing the consequences of this deal, the king’s younger brother teams up with a group of scholars to confront the true danger threatening Osten Ard. Simon, a kitchen boy unwittingly apprenticed to one of the scholars, embarks on a quest to solve a deadly riddle about long-lost swords of power. Simon faces enemies more dangerous than Osten Ard has ever known, all while the land itself begins to die. The epic saga of Osten Ard continues with this new novel, following the landmark Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy. Don’t miss the upcoming trilogy, The Last King of Osten Ard, starting with The Witchwood Crown!
