Description
When a young kitchen boy named Simon discovers he possesses magical potential, his sheltered life in the castle is shattered by the eruption of civil war and ancient sorcery. Caught between warring factions and pursued by immortal enemies, Simon must navigate a treacherous world where magic and politics intertwine, and nothing is as it seems. Tad Williams weaves an epic fantasy of sweeping scope, blending intimate character development with grand mythic stakes as Simon transforms from an unlikely apprentice into a figure central to his world's fate. With richly drawn secondary characters, intricate world-building, and a narrative that balances intimate moments with large-scale conflict, this is a tale of courage, destiny, and the price of growing up in a world consumed by darkness. The Dragonbone Chair marks the beginning of an unforgettable journey through a realm where ancient powers awaken and one young man's choices could determine the survival of kingdoms.
