ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams begins in the kingdom of Osten Ard as the long reign of the High King, Prester John, draws to a close, leaving a shadow of uncertainty over the land. Young Simon, an apprentice, finds himself drawn into events of great import as ancient secrets begin to resurface. Whispers of a growing darkness and the reemergence of forgotten powers threaten the fragile peace between humans and the long-lived Sithi. The story explores themes of history, prophecy, the nature of good and evil, and the burden of legacy as the characters grapple with an impending crisis that could shatter the very foundations of their world.
