The bestselling epic breaks new ground.
After the events of Sons of the Oak, Fallion and Jaz, the sons of the great Earth King Gaborn, are living as fugitives in their own kingdom, newly invaded and secretly controlled by supernatural beings of ultimate evil. The sons are hiding until they can regain their rightful places in the land.
Fallion seems destined to heal the world and feels the supernatural calling to act. When he summons his powers to do so, though, two entire worlds collapse into one, and every living thing in both worlds is transformed into an entirely new being—yet still somehow the same. Evil is certainly still the same—and may have influenced all of this for a terrible purpose.

"As with all "epic fantasy" series, there are characters I adore and characters I don't like so much, but I find that I'm enjoying the way Farland writes his villains. He also manages to change things up enough to not have it feel like just book 6 of a long running series."
— Jason (4 out of 5 stars)
“David Farland has written a series that rivals the best of Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, and Orson Scott Card.”
— SFRevu“Farland excels in dreamlike imagery.”
— Publishers Weekly" Hated the ending- seems like Farland is stretching a bit, trying to keep his series alive....still, it's a cool concept and I like his writing. Wait for the paperback, but still a worthy read. "
— Jeremiah, 12/10/2013" Love it! Can't stop reading it. "
— Ben, 12/8/2013" This one started out pretty slow, however toward the end it really picked up. This was more a development book in my opinion to get you back on the track that was the first 4 books. I am seriously looking forward to the next book in the series. "
— Lee, 10/28/2013" More like ~3.5. A good story, but only more questions and an open ending. "
— Ryan, 10/7/2013" liked it better than book 5, am still interested in how the story is going to end up, but still somehow not as good as the first four for me. "
— Hanako, 3/13/2013" Far and away better than Sons of the Oak. In fact, easily the best book in the entire series thus far. "
— Jesse, 3/7/2013" I did not like the direction that the story went with the combination of worlds. "
— Taylor, 3/2/2013" Couldn't even finish it. My advice: read the Runelords up to book 4 and stop there. "
— Melissa, 2/24/2013" Everything got weirder in the series. I still don't dislike it, but I think it slipped from 3.5 to 3 stars. "
— Aaron, 1/21/2013" This one felt like it was a transitional book in the series. Alot of new things happen, new characters, new villians etc... If the follow-up is as good as this one, then the rest of the series will be very good, just like the first 3 books in this series. "
— Boyd, 1/9/2013" This book was an excellent addition to the Runelord series. It had a lot of unexpected twists and turns. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series. "
— Amelia, 11/18/2012" Book 6 of the Runelords. "
