Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and Christopher Paolini, and defined Tad Williams as one of the most important fantasy writers of our time.

“One of my favorite fantasy series.” —George R. R. Martin
“Groundbreaking.” —Patrick Rothfuss
“One of the great fantasy epics of all time.” —Christopher Paolini

BOOK ONE: THE DRAGONBONE CHAIR

A war fueled by the powers of dark sorcery is about to engulf the peaceful land of Osten Ard—for Prester John, the High King, lies dying. And with his death, the Storm King, the undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi, seizes the chance to regain his lost realm through a pact with the newly ascended king. Knowing the consequences of this bargain, the king’s younger brother joins with a small, scattered group of scholars, the League of the Scroll, to confront the true danger threatening Osten Ard.

Simon, a kitchen boy from the royal castle unknowingly apprenticed to a member of this League, will be sent on a quest that offers the only hope of salvation, a deadly riddle concerning long-lost swords of power. Compelled by fate and perilous magics, he must leave the only home he’s ever known and face enemies more terrifying than Osten Ard has ever seen, even as the land itself begins to die.

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! Fantaisie noire Fantastique Fantastique épique Fiction Magique Redevances Épique Effrayant

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Osten Ard

“Inspired me to write my own seven-book trilogy.... It’s one of my favorite fantasy series.” —George R. R. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author

“Groundbreaking.... Changed how people thought of the genre, and paved the way for so much modern fantasy. Including mine.” —Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times-bestselling author of The Name of the Wind

"Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece. Williams’ return to Osten Ard is every bit as compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at the top of his game." —Brandon Sanderson, New York Times-bestselling author of Mistborn

“Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of the great fantasy epics of all time.” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon

“Readers who delight in losing themselves in long complex tales of epic fantasy will be in their element here, and there is the promise of much more to come in future volumes.” —Locus

“Panoramic, vigorous, often moving.... Williams adroitly weaves together the tales...heralding a suitably epic and glorious conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly

“Highly Recommended. [Williams] draws on many mythologies for the background of his fantasy epic...story spiced with political intrigue and strong appealing heroes.” —Library Journal

“A grand fantasy on a scale approaching Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.” —Cincinnati Post

great story but goes on for far too long in parts, like in the middle. Feels like it would've benefited by being trimmed by about 10 to 15 percent

Great story and performance, a bit long winded

I loved the story but did not like the way certain characters were voiced. Simon ended up being portrayed as a simpleton and it bothered me.

Awesome book

I love this series. I read it years ago, and I was hard pressed to put it down. There is not many fantasy books that reads like a lot of others. I listen to this whenever I can! The narrator is pretty good, but can be annoying at times.

Love it

This is a fantastic classic, told with great narrative flourish. Loads of unique accents help to differentiate the vast cast of characters from one another.

Great reading of a fantasy classic!

I tried to read this book on its own at first but found myself stumbling over pronunciation of places and names and found I had a difficult time getting into the book. This book is my cousin’s favourite so I thought I’d give it another go so I ordered this book on audible and really enjoyed the performance and the story so much more. I felt like the narrator really developed and enhanced characters. I enjoyed this book so much more that I ordered the whole series to finish the series and re-read. This book is now considered one of my favourite series! Thank you Andrew Wincott and of course Tad Williams!

Really well done performance

Tad is great!

there were some voices (i.e. Binabik) that I didn't particularly love, but then others (i.e. Jarnauga) I felt were Steven Pacey levels of voice performance. I appreciated the wide variety of voices, and the weave of the whole tale. There were quite a few 'scary' obviously from the 80s things that I was not expecting since this is so classic fantasy. I liked that this is both classic fantasy but bridged with modern (both in the overinflated sense, and quicker pacing + emphasis on lore sense). I have a feeling that M, S, & T may become a new all-time favourite series. I combo read this, and aside from a few info-dump chapters where we get a lot of great voicework describing our history, I would say this story should be read physically. At least for me, I retained more and paid more attention with the physical copy. What an ending!

4.5/5 ⭐ All Around

I agree with the other comment about being a bit long winded but other than that a pretty good book and very decent narrator. Except maybe the ending a bit, none of it felt spectacular in any way but it does have a consistent good quality 🤷‍♂️

A decent narrator, good story, drags a bit at times.

This book once you are clear of the slow start will transport you to another world in a way that few books are able to. A must read for fantasy fans who are looking for something with a proper sense of heroic adventure in this age of grim grounded stories. This book is especially elevated by the audio book as the the performance is stellar across the board.

A classic for a reason

Fantastic story and even more fantastic narrator. Perfect blend of Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire.
