Publisher's Summary
Prince Gaborn, the Earth King, has defeated the forces arrayed against him each time before: the magical and human forces marshaled by Raj Ahten, who seeks immortality at any cost and has given up his humanity in trade; and the inhuman, innumerable, insectile hordes of the giant Reavers from under the Earth, whose unknowable motives are inimical to human life.
Now there must be final confrontations, both on the field of battle, with the supernatural creature that Raj Ahten has become, and underground, in the cavernous homeland of the Reavers, where the sorcerous One True Master who rules them all lies in wait—in the Lair of Bones. The survival of the human race on Earth is at stake.
What the critics say
“The Runelords Saga comes to a gripping conclusion 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 leave behind. Fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind will enjoy Farland’s Runelords.”(Romantic Times)
“David Farland’s Runelords books are among the best fantasies on the market today. Great characters, a fascinating concept, and some really nasty monsters make each novel a pleasure to read.” (Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times best-selling author of A Forest of Stars)
"The suspense is real, the action is nonstop, and the characterizations continue to convince...[this is] a series that has put Farland on high-fantasy readers' maps." (Booklist)

Awesome book
An excellent 4th book to a great series! I love the magic system and world. My only complaint is the authors understanding of distance and travelling time. It’s inconsistent, his description of the land makes it sound huge but the time it takes to get from one place to another is unrealistic based on my perception of the size of the map. Other than that everything else is awesome!

Best volume so far!
This installment of the series is by far my favourite so far. But the crescendos of suspense, battle and personality would not have been possible without the preceding three :) It also contains several satisfying conclusions to long running threads. Like Farland's first three Runelords this one permits the reader to end their adventure without feeling blackmailed to get the next volume just to finish a cliffhanger. But the story is so grand that I will of course read book five.

So boring.
Hands down in the top 10 of the worst books I've ever listened to. slow, boring and poorly written also poorly narrated. This series was horrible. the first book was almost not bad. the last 2 books destroyed any good the first book had in it.
