Her grandson Morgan, heir to the throne, has been captured by one of Utuk''ku''s soldiers in the ruins of an abandoned city.

Trade Review
Tad Williams is a master storyteller, and the Osten Ard books are his masterpiece. Williams' return to Osten Ard is every bit as compelling, deep, and fully-rendered as the first trilogy, and he continues to write with the experience and polish of an author at the top of his game * BRANDON SANDERSON, #1 NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE *
Not just utterly readable-an instant fantasy classic * KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED) *
An engrossing epic, mixing adventure, intrigue, magic, and some fascinating new characters * LOCUS *
With this book, The Last King of Osten Ard has achieved the greatest possible feat for a sequel: that is, I can no longer imagine the originals without it * TOR.COM *
It's quite the tapestry that Tad Williams has woven. If you like fantasy that doesn't hit you over the head with magic spells, or world-spanning tales with numerous rich characters, you'll enjoy what Williams has brought to the table here. I know I did * DEN OF GEEK *
Readers new to Osten Ard will quickly be absorbed by
the political intrigue, rich description and complex characterization
that makes the author stand out in a sea of writers inspired by his work
* RT REVIEWS (TOP PICK) *
The Witchwood Crown is an easy recommend to both new readers and
fans of Williams: a great start to what could be a new classic trilogy
* STRANGE COUNTRY *
The Witchwood Crown is a weighty, emotional,
and engrossing launch to The Last King of Osten Ard
* SFF WORLD *
