Synopsis

From the author of Frostborn comes Book 2 in the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy for fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull.
 
Karn Korlundsson is a gamer. Not a riddle solver. But in order to rescue his best friend, Thianna Frostborn, he will need to travel to the faraway city of Castlebriar (by wyvern), learn how to play a new board game called Charioteers (not a problem), decipher the Riddle of the Horn, and tangle with mysterious elves.
 
Meet Desstra. She’s in training to join the Underhand—the elite agents of the dark elves. When she crosses paths with Karn, she is not all that she appears to be.
 
Everyone is chasing after the horn of Osius, an ancient artifact with the power to change the world. The lengths to which Karn will go in the name of friendship will be sorely tested. Who knew that solving a riddle could be so deadly?

This audiobook includes a bonus PDF with a glossary, maps, game rules for Charioteers, a timeline, and song lyrics.

Goodreads review by Amy on June 08, 2017

I'm reading this series out loud to my kids, and they are utterly taken with the characters and the story. (Talking about it out of context when we're just walking down the street, etc.) I can't recommend it highly enough!......more

Goodreads review by Short on July 14, 2016

Going through a strange phase of not being able to finish any book, I had to force myself to read this one, and happily I enjoyed it. It starts off a little slow, but once it picked up, the story went full speed ahead.......more

Goodreads review by Brian on July 21, 2015

Wanted to add a few words on the book, instead of just stars. I honestly can't recommend this series enough. I could try, but you'd want me to zip it after three pages of gushing. Since page one of the first book in the series I have loved these characters. They felt real, I felt homey in their home......more

Goodreads review by Anya on June 24, 2015

Nightborn is a great sequel in that if you enjoyed book one, book two is all that and more! Friends on crazy adventures, Roman inspired civilizations, and learning more about yourself all feature heavily in Nightborn. Great for young readers and parents tired of gendered books especially :D......more
