Prince Gaborn, the planet earth King, has defeated the forces arrayed against him every time before: the magical and individual forces marshaled by Raj Ahten, who seeks immortality at any cost and has given up his humanity in trade; as well as the inhuman, innumerable, insectile hordes from the giant Reavers from beneath the Earth, whose unknowable motives are inimical to human being life. Now there must be final confrontations, both for the field of fight, with the supernatural creature that Raj Ahten has become, and underground, in the cavernous homeland from the Reavers, where in fact the sorcerous One True Master who guidelines them all is based on wait-in the Lair of Bone fragments. The survival of the human race on Earth reaches stake.

“The Runelords Saga involves a gripping bottom line in David Farland’s The Lair of Bones…Farland’s imaginative use of magic and detailed world-building contribute to the impact…Gaborn is a flawed but likable hero whom readers will be sorry to keep behind. Fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind will enjoy Farland’s Runelords.”-Intimate Times
