Stone of Farewell

In "Stone of Farewell," the second epic installment of Tad Williams's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn saga, the realm of Osten Ard is plunged into deeper despair as the terrifying power of Ineluki, the Storm King, and his undead Sithi minions spread an unvanquishable evil. The land itself is blighted, forcing the dwindling human forces, led by Prince Josua, to seek refuge at the mysterious and ancient Stone of Farewell. Amidst this encroaching darkness, Simon and the remaining members of the League of the Scroll embark on a desperate quest to uncover the truth behind a forgotten legend. Their journey will take them from the ruins of human strongholds to the hidden heartland of the Sithi, where these near-immortal beings must confront their own ancient divisions and decide whether to ally with humanity in a final, cataclysmic war against their own kin. The fate of Osten Ard hangs precariously as old prophecies and new alliances collide.
