A realm in search of refuge

The second volume of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn widens the conflict in Osten Ard as Ineluki the Storm King’s magic and forces threaten the kingdom. A scattered human army seeks the Stone of Farewell, a mysterious sanctuary, while Prince Josua works to gather his forces. Elsewhere, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll pursue an old legend, taking them from ruined human strongholds into Sithi territory. Their discoveries bring the Sithi’s choice of whether to join humanity in a war against their own kind into the larger struggle. The book links military flight, historical mystery, and a decision with consequences for both peoples.

BOOK TWO: STONE OF FAREWELL

It is a time of darkness, dread, and ultimate testing for the realm of Osten Ard, for the wild magic and terrifying minions of the undead Sithi ruler, Ineluki the Storm King, are spreading their seemingly undefeatable evil across the kingdom.

With the very land blighted by the power of Ineluki's wrath, the tattered remnants of a once-proud human army flee in search of a last sanctuary and rallying point--the Stone of Farewell, a place shrouded in mystery and ancient sorrow.

An even as Prince Josua seeks to rally his scattered forces, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll are desperately struggling to discover the truth behind an almost-forgotten legend, which will take them from the fallen citadels of humans to the secret heartland of the Sithi--where near-immortals must at last decide whether to ally with the race of men in a final war against those of their own blood.

After the landmark Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy, the epic saga of Osten Ard continues with The Heart of What Was Lost. Then don't miss the sequel trilogy, The Last King of Osten Ard, beginning with The Witchwood Crown!
