Tad Williams is a California-based fantasy superstar. His genre-creating (and genre-busting) books have sold tens of millions worldwide. His works include the worlds of Otherland, Shadowmarch, and Osten Ard—including the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, and The Last King of Osten Ard series—as well as standalone novels Tailchaser’s Song and The War of the Flowers. His considerable output of epic fantasy, science fiction, urban fantasy, comics, and more have strongly influenced a generation of writers. Tad and his family live in the Santa Cruz mountains in a suitably strange and beautiful house. He can be found at tadwilliams.com or on Twitter at @tadwilliams.
Praise for Osten Ard
“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. Williams’ return to Osten Ard is every bit as
compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he
continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at
the top of his game." —Brandon Sanderson, New York
Times-bestselling author of Mistborn
“Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of the great fantasy epics of all
time.” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of
Eragon
“Readers who delight in losing themselves in long complex tales of
epic fantasy will be in their element here, and there is the
promise of much more to come in future volumes.” —Locus
“Panoramic, vigorous, often moving.... Williams adroitly weaves
together the tales...heralding a suitably epic and glorious
conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly
“Highly Recommended. [Williams] draws on many mythologies for the
background of his fantasy epic...story spiced with political
intrigue and strong appealing heroes.” —Library Journal
“A grand fantasy on a scale approaching Tolkien's The Lord of the
Rings.” —Cincinnati Post
As war threatens to rip apart a once peaceful land, a young kitchen boy turned magician's apprentice embarks on a journey that could save his world from the dark machinations of a king gone mad. The author of Tailchaser's Song draws on many mythologies for the background of his fantasy epic, creating a solid story spiced with political intrigue and strong, appealing heroes. Highly recommended. JC
