Once the home of their immortal brethren, the Sithi, now capital of the kingdom of men, the fabled castle is under attack. And as the world is distracted by this strike against humankind, the Norns’ deathless witch-queen Utuk’ku turns towards the mysterious fateful valley called Tanakirú—the Vale of Mists. Meanwhile, Queen Miriamele hurries to save the Hayholt and capture the treacherous noble Pasevalles, but arrives to discover the traitor has escaped. And inside Tanakirú, Vale of Mists, the bond between Prince Morgan and Nezeru, a renegade Norn, has become something deeper and stranger than either of them could have anticipated. They journey ever deeper to the heart of the valley’s mystery, encountering wonder and horror, and come face to face at last with the ancient secret that has kindled the Norn Queen’s war—a secret that will destroy immortals and humans alike.

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...

In the third installment of the Last King of Osten Ard series, the kingdom faces dire threats. The High Throne of Erkynland is unstable, with a fractured royal family. Queen Miriamele is embroiled in a brutal southern rebellion and is presumed dead after a fiery attack. Her grandson Morgan, the heir, is captured by a soldier from Utuk'ku amidst the ruins of an abandoned city. King Simon, Miriamele's husband, is consumed by grief, unaware that a traitor named Pasevalles is orchestrating these calamities from within his own court at the Hayholt. As turmoil reigns, a formidable army of Norns, led by the vengeful Queen Utuk'ku, has invaded Erkynland, decimating the fortress of Naglimund and unearthing the ancient grave of Ruyan the Navigator. Utuk'ku intends to harness the Navigator's legendary armor to summon the spirit of Hakatri, the malevolent brother of the Storm King. The Sithi, kin to the Norns, find themselves powerless against Utuk'ku's advancing forces, which are simultaneously besieging the Hayholt and invading the ogre-guarded valley of Tanakiru, where a hidden secret could spell salvation or doom for Simon's people and their Sithi allies.
