Synopsis

David Farland delivers the second in his high fantasy Runelords series, featuring a complex system of magic and a wondrous, expertly realized world. Raj Ahten, ruler of Indhopal, has used enough forcibles to transform himself into the ultimate warrior: the Sum of All Men. Ahten seeks to bring all of humanity under his rule, destroying anyone in his path. But young Prince Gaborn has fulfilled a two-thousand-year-old prophecy and become the Earth King, a mythic figure who can unleash the forces of the Earth itself. He has managed to drive off Raj Ahten, but Ahten is far from defeated. Striking at far-flung cities and fortresses, Ahten seeks to draw out the Earth King from his seat of power and to crush him. But as they weaken each other’s forces in battle, the armies of an ancient and implacable inhuman enemy issue forth from the very bowels of the Earth.

The end of book 2 is actually the end of "book" 8 and as far as I can tell, all of the Runelords Saga is one long story. I'm guessing, of course, but it feels very focused and quite epic. It kinda has to be. The tale o......more

Goodreads review by Phil

The second volume in the Runelord's saga picks up where the first left off, and like the first volume, the events chronicled take place in less than a week. The Runelords finished up with the king of Indhopal-- Raj Ahtan-- fleeing a battleground due to a ruse by Prince Gaborn and friends. Because of......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin)

Well, not as good as the first one but still pretty good. I dropped it to 3 as I think this one stretched the story out a bit...too much book for the plot so to speak. That said as we go forward the novel does finally catch up to the story telling and we follow our heroes on as they try to survive ag......more

Goodreads review by Dave

Finally finished this book earlier this year.. What I do like about the book is how uncoventional it continues to be in terms of its approach to the fantasy genre. A runelord is able to take attributes from another like stamina, voice, beauty, etc... to increase hi/her own abilities. It is a neat c......more

Quotes

“Farland’s action-packed climax is gripping.”

Publishers Weekly

“Substantial plotting, inventive magics, and enough fighting to gratify the most bloodthirsty fan.”

Kirkus Reviews

"A first-rate tale, an epic fantasy that more than delivers on its promise. Read it soon and treat yourself to an adventure you won't forget."

Terry Brooks on The Runelords

"When I reached the end of this first volume and saw grace arise from a devastating battlefield where too many great hearts lay dead, Farland had earned the tears that came to my eyes. It was not sentiment but epiphany."

Orson Scott Card, praise for the series
