    Tad Williams

    Set in the New York Times-bestselling world of Osten Ard, Tad Williams's latest novel is an action-packed, fast-moving adventure following the mythic figure of Flann Alderwood and his band of misfit rebels. As the old King of Hernystir's health worsens, the realm has been thrown into chaos-warlords divide the land up among themselves and questions about the heir to the throne continue to cause conflict. Flann, along with mysterious allies both common and noble, must aid the King's one legitimate heir in his quest to receive his father's blessing and attempt to return stability to the realm, while pursued by enemies eager to end his life.

    Praise for The Splintered Sun

    • Praise for Tad Williams - -One of my favourite fantasy series - George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of ThronesGround-breaking . . . changed how people thought of the genre and paved the way for so much modern fantasy, including mine - Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Kingkiller ChronicleOne of the main reasons I started writing fantasy . . . Tad Williams' work is an essential part of any science fiction and fantasy library - Christopher Paolini, author of the Inheritance Cycle seriesComparable to fantasy's most meticulously rendered realms, like Tolkien's Middle-earth and Martin's Westeros - KirkusEmpire of Grass not only meets expectations, but surpasses them in almost all ways. Few authors manage to write a series with as much depth and relevance as Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn once in a career. Williams is two-thirds of the way through doing it twice - Barnes & NobleIt's no wonder Tad Williams has inspired so many great authors of fantasy to take up the pen. His work is, and continues to be, amongst the best of the genre - Fantasy Book Review
