Editorial Reviews
“[Farland] explores the very nature of virtue and finds disturbing contradictions at the heart of every moral question. . . .When I reached the end ofThe Runelords, and saw grace arise from a devastating battlefield where too many great hearts lay dead, Farland had earned the tears that came to my eyes. It was not sentiment but epiphany.” —Orson Scott Card, author of Empire, on The Runelords
“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 on Lair of Bones
“Sometimes truly terrifying, sometimes impossibly sweet,The Lair of Bones is a tale sure to entrance any reader. This is a superb story with deeply empathetic characters.” —Sara Douglass, author of The Serpent Bride
“The author's imaginative approach to magic, coupled with a richly detailed fantasy world and a cast of memorable heroes and villains, adds depth and variety to this epic tale of war and valor.” —Library Journal on Wizardborn
