Donaldson, Robert Jordan, and Terry Goodkind arrive immediately to brain. Increase that list David Farland, whose epic illusion series continues with this fifth installment.

The story accumulates eight years following the events of Lair of Bones and begins a new chapter in the Runelords saga concentrating on Gaborn’s son, Fallion. Gaborn, the Earth King, has about Sons from the Oak been traveling far from his home, to unusual and unknown areas. While beyond the advantage of the planet earth, he finally succumbs to accelerated aging, the price of all the endowments he has taken. His death is the sign for a trend, an attack through the supernatural realms by hugely powerful immortal beings.

These forces have discovered that Gaborn’s kid is the resurrection of the immortal-one whose potential power is so great that he might have the ability to reorder the complete universe. Fallion’s enemies have decided that they need to control him or, faltering that, demolish him. He’s only a child, but he is the heir to Gaborn’s kingdom therefore must flee to the ends of the earth to avoid the devastation of most that Gaborn accomplished.
