Skyborn

De: Lou Anders

Narrado por: Fabio Tassone

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

Fantastic conclusion

Some new characters in this story, all in keeping with this old Norse vibe. The fierce friendship and loyalty between Karn and Thiana is one to be admired and imitated...we all need and are capable of being someone's FRIEND. Integrity and diplomacy reign over this tale. The story invites the reader to remember that perfection of character is not the ultimate goal. We are, none of us, perfect. But a happy and beneficial ideal is to stick to your people, your friends, your commitments - your family (regardless of how wayward,) your friends (even if they're recovering "dark elves,") and your "calling," (yourself.) Thiana isn't "called" to be dainty, but she's called to a fierce kind of love - for her best friend (Karn,) for someone he cares for (Destra,) and for her culturally insensitive cousin (Sirena.) Thiana knows what right and does it, regardless of the difficulties. Would that we all could imitate her example and courage!

The way justice reigned in the end

The sarcastic humor of the merry band of misfits as they conquer their destinies to topple an empire and free a kingdom of tyrannical rulers kept me entertained during my long drive home.
