To Green Angel Tower

Book Three of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn

Even the king’s Erkynguard might have wished to be elsewhere, rather than here on this killing ground where duty brought them and loyalty prisoned them. Only the mercenaries were here by choice. To Simon, the minds of men who would come to this of their own will were suddenly as incomprehensible as the thoughts of spiders or lizards — less so, even, for the small creatures of the earth almost always fled from danger. These were madmen, Simon realized, and that was the direst problem of the world: that madmen should be strong and unafraid, so that they could force their will on the weak and peace-loving. If God allowed such madness to be, Simon could not help thinking, then He was an old god who had lost His grip.

This final volume in Tad Williams’s best-selling fantasy masterwork Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, is a book which readers have been awaiting since the series made its phenomenal debut in 1988 with the publication of THE DRAGONBONE CHAIR. A novel of vast scope, detail and complexity, TO GREEN ANGEL TOWER is the momentous tour-de-force finale of a ground-breaking series. Replete with war, deception, adventure, sorcery, and romance, TO GREEN ANGEL TOWER brings to a stunning and surprising conclusion Tad Williams’s monumental tale of a magical conflict which fractures the very fabric of time and space, turning both humans and Sithi against those of their own blood.

As the evil minions of the undead Sithi Storm King prepare for the kingdom-shattering culmination of their dark sorceries and King Elias is drawn ever deeper into their nightmarish, spell-spun world, the loyal allies of Prince Josua desperately struggle to rally their forces at the Stone of Farewell. And with time running out, the remaining members of the now devastated League of the Scroll have also gathered there to unravel mysteries from the forgotten past. For if the League can reclaim these age-old secrets of magic long-buried beneath the dusts of time, they may be able to reveal to Josua and his army the only means of striking down the unslayable foe.

But whether or not the League is successful in its quest, the call of battle will lead the valiant followers of Josua Lackhand across storm-tossed seas brimming with bloodthirsty kilpa…through forests swarming with those both mind- and soul-lost…through ancient caverns built by the legendary Dwarrows…to the haunted halls of Asu’a itself–the Sithi’s greatest stronghold!

“Refreshing and invigorating…magnificent.”
–The Herald

“This is quite simply the best story I have read next to LORD OF THE RINGS…destined to become among the greatest Fantasy epics of all time.”
–Amaranth
