The Splintered Sun

'Tad Williams is a master storyteller' Brandon Sanderson

Vedra and Daley are fugitives. Two children, one with a strange and powerful gift. When their flight ends in capture, they are claimed by the Crows-Osten Ard's most infamous band of outlaws, led by Flann-and the children must learn to survive or be swallowed whole.

As whispers of a deadly plot coil around the throne of Hernystir, where the king's health is failing, the Crows are drawn into a game far deadlier than bandit raids and border skirmishes. Warlords carve up the land and rival factions clash over the rightful heir. Into this chaos steps Flann, joined by allies both noble and common, to help the King's one legitimate heir claim his father's blessing and restore stability. But enemies, human and inhuman, stalk their every move, determined to end Flann's quest before it begins.

For in the deep forests and ruined places of the old world, something stirs. Oaths will be broken. Blood will answer blood. And two hunted children may hold the fate of a kingdom in their trembling hands.

Before legend, before ruin- there was the beginning. . .

Packed with action, unforgettable characters, and the sweeping imagination that has made Tad Williams one of fantasy's most beloved voices, this is Osten Ard as you've never seen it before.
