'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 Tanakirú - the Narrowdark - where a secret waits
that might bring Simon's people and their Sithi allies salvation - or doom. PRAISE FOR THE
