Synopsis

For fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull comes the epic conclusion to the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy that began with Frostborn.
 
Find the Horn. Free the City.
 
The chase continues for the legendary Horns of Osius. Thianna and Karn’s quest to retrieve the horns from those who wish to abuse their power takes them to Thica, an ancient land where two tyrant queens reign supreme and where years earlier Thianna’s mother was labeled a traitor. Soon the two heroes are caught up in an epic battle for control of the kingdom, one that puts their very lives at stake. The only way to overthrow the queens is to beat them at their own game. But with an entire empire against them, how can Karn and Thianna hope to compete—or better yet, survive?
 
The Skyborn audiobook includes instructions for playing the board game Queen’s Champion, a Thican timeline, maps, and a glossary on a bonus PDF. King Herakles Hammerfist’s recipe for the Best Spanakopita Ever is recorded at the end of the program. 

Praise for the Thrones and Bones series
“Future fans of Tolkien and George R. R. Martin can happily cut their serial-fantasy teeth on this first book of an eventual series.” —Kirkus Reviews
 
“A powerful, fast-paced tale. . . . The setting is rich, the characters well-defined, and the danger ever-paramount.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred

About The Author

Lou Anders drew on his adventures traveling to Greece in his twenties to write Skyborn, combining these experiences with his love of adventure fiction and games (both tabletop and role playing). While he has yet to ride a hippalektryon, creating his own board games for Frostborn, Nightborn, and now Skyborn is one of his favorite indulgences. Anders is the recipient of a Hugo Award for editing and a Chesley Award for art direction, and was named a Thurber House Writer-in-Residence. He has published over 500 articles and stories on science fiction and fantasy television and literature. He resides with his family in Birmingham, Alabama.

Goodreads review by Amy

This was the perfect ending to an amazing trilogy. My 10- and 12-year-olds loved this, and so did I! Fabulous world-building, empowering characters, and enough action and intrigue to keep even the most thrill-seeking readers entranced! This, in my mind, is a must-read middle grade fantasy trilogy, s......more

Goodreads review by Sheila

This was a fun series to read. Every kind of mythical creature ever invented and possibly a few more are at least mentioned, if not actually appearing in the books. Good values, good action/adventure and good growth in character and relationships.......more

Goodreads review by Kate

The penalty for treason was being chained to marble columns. For many years, vicious captors had tortured the rebellious dragon, burning it with fire lances and shredding its wings. Yet its words only grew bolder as it faced Sirena, keeper of the Horn that controlled its mind. Though one of the most......more
