Now in paperback, set in the New York Times bestselling world of
Osten Ard, this short novel continues the saga that inspired a
generation of fantasists.
Pride often goes before a fall, but sometimes that prideful fall is so
catastrophic that it changes history itself.
Among the immortal Sithi of Osten Ard, none are more beloved and admired
than the two sons of the ruling family, steady Hakatri and his proud and
fiery younger brother Ineluki -- Ineluki, who will one day become the
undead Storm King. The younger brother makes a bold, terrible oath that
he will destroy deadly Hidohebhi, a terrifying monster, but instead
drags his brother with him into a disaster that threatens not just their
family but all the Sithi -- and perhaps all of humankind as well.
Set a thousand years before the events of Williams's The Dragonbone
Chair, the tale of Ineluki's tragic boast and what it brings is told by
Pamon Kes, Hakatri's faithful servant.
