Prince Gaborn, the Earth King, has defeated the forces arrayed against him each time before: the magical and human forces marshaled by Raj Ahten, who seeks immortality at any cost and has given up his humanity in trade; and the inhuman, innumerable, insectile hordes of the giant Reavers from under the Earth, whose unknowable motives are inimical to human life. Now there must be final confrontations, both on the field of battle, with the supernatural creature that Raj Ahten has become, and underground, in the cavernous homeland of the Reavers, where the sorcerous One True Master who rules them all lies in wait—in the Lair of Bones. The survival of the human race on Earth is at stake.

Quotes & Awards

    Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of A Forest of Stars

  • “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, bestselling author of Wayfarer Redemption

  • “The Runelords Saga comes to a gripping conclusion in David Farland’s The Lair of Bones…Farland’s imaginative use of magic and detailed world-building contribute to the impact…Gaborn is a flawed but likable hero whom readers will be sorry to leave behind. Fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind will enjoy Farland’s Runelords.”

    Romantic Times

  • “The apparent conclusion of the Runelords brings the saga’s conflicts to a resounding climax in a three-cornered confrontation…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.”

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Hanako | 2/9/2014

    " again - having fun with this series - i mean, it's pretty standard fantasy stuff, but i am definitely enjoying it. wizards, good guys, bad guys - fun stuff. now i have to find the next book at the library, 'cause my brother seems to have only sent me the first four books... "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Kenneth Geary | 1/17/2014

    " Made up for the last book, things actually happen and it sets it up for the rest of the series i am looking forward to the sons of the oak which IMO is where the series really gets good. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Boyd | 1/10/2014

    " This series was new and inventive. The magic system was very well put together, as was the world. I loved the creatures in this series, and the characters as well. Who would have thought that 'buglike' Reavers would be such a good addition to a fantasy series? "

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5 Tom | 1/6/2014

    " What the hell? The first two were awesome, I was so pleased to see a local boy make good. Then the third, blah. Then the fourth?!? WTF?!? its absolutley horrible. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Tal | 12/22/2013

    " book 4 of a fairly generic fantasy series. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Michele | 12/5/2013

    " Great ending to this generation of Runelords. The action was suspenseful and engaging despite frequent philosophy sidebars by the author. I thought I had read this one before, but didn't remember it being so entertaining. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Micheal Hay | 12/1/2013

    " I'm divided on how I like the series after this book. Somehow the sons are not as interesting to me as the first 4 books, but, the story continues to the next generation and I like that, its like Vader had his time, now it's Luke and Leia's. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Nathan | 11/20/2013

    " Though this isn't the last book in the series it is the conclusion to Gaborn's story started in book 1. It was a very satisfying conclusion. Indeed it was. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Ivon | 1/5/2013

    " A very satisfying and quite sad conclusion indeed but it was a great way to end the series. I hope Farland continue with another series now including Averan, Borenson and Myrimma as the new leads. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Becky Cordova | 3/29/2012

    " I was sad that this was the conclusion! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Aaron Anderson | 10/26/2010

    " This appears to be the end of the first series, 4 books long. He's written 4 more and is going to write a final one, apparently. This series was pretty good, without at all being great. I will try reading the next few books, and see what they're like. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Ruth | 6/6/2010

    " c2005. I am very shallow but I think the cover is awful and certainly did not do any justice to the series as a whole- aiming for a more juvenile market? but with some adult themes. I don't think that this is a book that I will remember in 5 years time. "

    " This book seemed to drag more than the others... I get the feeling that the publisher is trying to turn him into a Robert Jordan type of gold mine "
