The Witchwood Crown: Book One of The Last King of Osten Ard (Last King of Osten Ard 1)

The stunning successor to one of the greatest fantasy trilogies of all time . . .

Thirty years ago Ineluki, the Storm King, was destroyed and his armies scattered. Osten Ard has been at peace ever since, ruled by kitchen-boy-made-king Simon Snowlock, and Miriamele, King Elias' only child. But now Simon's dreams have deserted him, old allies are dying and betrayal and assassination threaten.


Meanwhile in a mountain fortress in the frozen North, Ineluki's ally, the Norn Queen, wakes from her decades-long sleep and tells her followers that she will sleep no more. Humanity must be destroyed. Her sorcerers will bring a demon back from death, her warriors will scour the world for living dragon's blood . . .

And the greatest artefact of all, the Witchwood Crown, will finally be hers.
