And the Storm King may also be in possession of one of the swords.

But Simon is more alone than ever before: his friends have been imprisoned and his liege lord, Prince Josua, has been exiled.

Once but a humble kitchen-boy, Simon is now Simon Snowlock, dragonslayer and bearer of the mythical sword Thorn.

A single hope remains: if the rebels can find the three swords of legend - Memory, Sorrow and Thorn - they might be able to bring the Storm King and evil King Elias down. Following a brutal civil war, Osten Ard has been crushed under the rule of the two villainous High Kings. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.īook Description Paperback.
