Description
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 Tanakirú—the Narrowdark—where a secret waits that might bring Simon’s people and their Sithi allies salvation—or doom.

J.R.R. Tolkien, whose work laid the foundations for modern high fantasy, has inspired many fantasy writers, including Tad Williams. Tolkien's noble elves, crotchety dwarves, wise old magicians, and three-part epics have influenced much of Williams' work. -- NoveList Contributor
World-building fantasy fiction is the specialty of both Patrick Rothfuss and Tad Williams. Their books set a relaxed pace as the story unfolds, but neither author shies away from drama and violence. Both authors employ a grim tone and dense plot when needed, but good storytelling keeps the adventure moving. -- Keeley Murray
Prolific writer Robin Hobb is known for her high fantasy works, but like Tad Williams, she offers more than the ordinary epic. Her compelling stories feature the sort of unexpected plot twists, accessible writing style, likable characters, and creative world-building that fans of Williams love. -- NoveList Contributor
Both the works of accomplished animal fantasy writer Gayle Greeno and high fantasy writer Tad Williams employ sophisticated, intelligent cats as characters, though her cats live symbiotically with humans. -- NoveList Contributor
Those who enjoy Tad Williams's high fantasy novels would do well to try George R. R. Martin's novels. With their epic scope, plentiful details, vibrant storytelling, complex characters, and comprehensive world-building, they will appeal to Williams's fans on many levels. -- NoveList Contributor
Both Elizabeth Bear and Tad Williams, are examples of those rare authors who can write about complicated science fiction themes without resorting to difficult jargon or esoteric posturing. Readers of both authors will enjoy the straightforward language, enjoyable characters, and engaging style of storytelling. -- NoveList Contributor
