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!

“Magical, whimsical, edge-gripping - in a true Tad Williams fashion, this book was so simple and beautiful. I say simple because he tells the story in such an easy and natural way, it's like the reader is always there with the characters.
The lore was amazing, the descriptive passages were lovely and the plot twists and plot devices in general were very nicely done. It was a nice continuation of The Dragonbone Chair - the characters had space to grow and mature and show their true colors and I must say that by far my favorite development was Rachel the Dragon!
The book was a bit slow sometimes but I wouldn't hold it as a negative, gave us a break to digest the action that was happening.
Some passages were a bit gore-y sometimes, but I can't say I complain - I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Can't wait to read the third book(s) and can't recommend this series enough”
