Set in Williams' New York Times bestselling fantasy world, the second book of The Last King of Osten Ard returns to the trials of King Simon and Queen Miriamele as threats to their kingdom loom . . .

The kingdoms of Osten Ard have been at peace for decades, but now, the threat of a new war grows to nightmarish proportions.

Simon and Miriamele, royal husband and wife, face danger from every side. Their allies in Hernystir have made a pact with the dreadful Queen of the Norns to allow her armies to cross into mortal lands. The ancient, powerful nation of Nabban is on the verge of bloody civil war, and the fierce nomads of the Thrithings grasslands have begun to mobilize, united by superstitious fervor and their age-old hatred of the city-dwellers. But as the countries and peoples of the High Ward bicker among themselves, battle, bloodshed, and dark magics threaten to pull civilizations to pieces. And over it all looms the mystery of the Witchwood Crown, the deadly puzzle that Simon, Miriamele, and their allies must solve if they wish to survive.

But as the kingdoms of Osten Ard are torn apart by fear and greed, a few individuals will fight for their own lives and destinies-not yet aware that the survival of everything depends on them.

One of my favourite fantasy series
Ground-breaking . . . changed how people thought of the genre and paved the way for so much modern fantasy, including mine
One of the main reasons I started writing fantasy . . . Tad Williams' work is an essential part of any science fiction and fantasy library
Comparable to fantasy's most meticulously rendered realms, like Tolkien's Middle-earth and Martin's Westeros.
Empire of Grass not only meets expectations, but surpasses them in almost all ways. Few authors manage to write a series with as much depth and relevance as Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn once in a career. Williams is two-thirds of the way through doing it twice
It's no wonder Tad Williams has inspired so many great authors of fantasy to take up the pen. His work is, and continues to be, amongst the best of the genre

I was huge fan of the original series and I really enjoyed all the following books so far.
I'm hugely grateful for the opportunity to go back to the imaginary lands of my youth. Tad Williams managed to weave with the same threads as the original series.
The production of the audible version is incredible.

I read the books many many times over the last two decades and I thoroughly enjoyed the audible production of those as well.

I highly recommend this version.

Glad to be back in Osten Ard after all this time.

I love Tad Williams and the series about Osten Ard, but Andrew Wincott gives me the creeps... The characters sound like imbeciles.. I understand he tries to acknowledge the different accents, but the Sithi and the Trolls, among others, sound utterly ridiculous. His 'normal' voice is quite nice, though.

Mixed feelings..
