    The world of the Runelords has been combined by magic with another parallel world to form a new one, the beginning of a process that may unify all worlds into the one true world.


    This story picks up after the events of The Wyrmling Horde and follows two of Farland's well-known heroes, Borenson and Myrrima, on a quest to save their devastated land and the people of the new world from certain destruction. But the land is not the only thing that has been altered forever: in the change, Borenson has merged with a mighty and monstrous creature from the other world, Aaath Ulber.


    He begins to be a different person, a berserker warrior, as well as having a huge new body because of the transformation of worlds. Thousands have died, lands have sunk below the sea and, elsewhere, risen from it. The supernatural rulers of the world are part of a universal evil, yet play a Byzantine game of dark power politics among themselves. And Aaath Ulber is now the most significant pawn in that game.

    Publishers Weekly
    The stark, dark and elegiac eighth installment of Farland's Runelords fantasy saga (after 2008's The Wyrmling Horde) centers on heroes Borenson and Myrrima, fresh from a gallant fight against unspeakably evil world dominators. Flameweaver Fallion, trying to unite the shattered One World, binds Borenson with Aaath Ulber, a giant horned berserker warrior. As their worlds and personalities merge, Borenson loses his human identity and family, but acquires a superhuman mission: to help Fallion bind all the worlds, uniting humans and defeating the wyrmlings forever. In this somber celebration of brutality, Farland ponders the fuzzy line between honor and obsession in a world where compassion comes with a high price. As the series grows in complexity, its appeal narrows, mostly drawing readers who like philosophy and complex machinations soaked in mud and blood. (Oct.)
    From the Publisher
    Praise for the New York Times bestselling Runelords series:

    “Stark, dark, and elegiac. . . .  Farland ponders the fuzzy line between honor and obsession in a world where compassion comes with a high price. . . .  Complex machinations soaked in mud and blood.”

    --Publishers Weekly on Chaosbound

    “David Farland has written a series that rivals the best of Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind and Orson Scott Card.”

    SF Revu on Worldbinder

    The suspense is real, the action is nonstop, and the characterizations continue to convince. . . . [this is] a series that has put Farland on high-fantasy readers’ maps.”

    Booklist on The Lair of Bones

    “Fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind will enjoy Farland’s Runelords.”

    Romantic Times Book Reviews on The Lair of Bones

    “The author’s imaginative approach to magic, coupled with a richly detailed fantasy world and a cast of memorable heroes and villains, adds depth and variety to this epic tale of war and valor.”

    Library Journal on Wizardborn

    “Sure, Brotherhood has incredible edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting battle scenes—the finale being an exceptional example—but Gaborn’s struggle to make a decision, and then facing the consequences, is equally thrilling.”

    Starlog on The Brotherhood of the Wolf

    “When I reached the end of this first volume, The Runelords, and saw grace arise from a devastating battlefield where too many great hearts lay dead, Farland had earned the tears that came to my eyes. It was not sentiment but epiphany.”

    —Orson Scott Card, author of Ender in Exile

    "Farland has created a vivid, detailed, different world that becomes perfectly believable."

    —David Drake, author of The Legions of Fire

    "David Farland's Runelords books are among the best fantasies on the market today.  Great characters, a fascinating concept, and some really nasty monsters make each novel a pleasure to read."

    —Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Winds of Dune
