Praise for Tad Williams: "Inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy.... It's one of my favorite fantasy series ." --George R. R. Martin, New York Times -bestselling author " Groundbreaking .... Changed how people thought of the genre, and paved the way for so much modern fantasy. Including mine." --Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times -bestselling author of The Name of the Wind "Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece.

New York Times -bestselling Tad Williams' landmark epic fantasy saga of Osten Ard begins an exciting new cycle "One of my favorite fantasy series." --George R. R.

And with his death, the Storm King, the undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi, seizes the chance to regain his lost realm through a pact with the newly ascended king. Knowing the consequences of this bargain, the king's younger brother joins with a small, scattered group of scholars, the League of the Scroll, to confront the true danger threatening Osten Ard. Simon, a kitchen boy from the royal castle unknowingly apprenticed to a member of this League, will be sent on a quest that offers the only hope of salvation, a deadly riddle concerning long-lost swords of power. Compelled by fate and perilous magics, he must leave the only home he's ever known and face enemies more terrifying than Osten Ard has ever seen, even as the land itself begins to die.

The books were very carefully packed in the box. The books themselves were wrapped in freezer paper as a unit to keep them from jostling in shipping. This unit was then inside a box with some additional padding. The books are in the condition advertised, which is great! An excellent transaction all-around.
