The Dragonbone Chair. Volume 1

The first novel of the acclaimed trilogy “Memory, Sorrow, and Thorns,” named for the three legendary swords. This is the story of Simon, a young man who works in the kitchen of the royal castle and studies magic. Fantasies and dreams of great victories and heroic deeds become a shocking reality when his world is torn apart by the fires of a civil war—war fueled by ancient hatred, immortal enemies, and dark sorcery.

Volume 1 of the two-volume edition of the novel. “Stunning.”

“Highly recommended. The author uses a great number of mythologies as background for his epic, creating a unified story seasoned with political intrigue and strong, compelling characters.”

“Readers who like to plunge into long, complex tales of epic fantasy will find themselves right in their element here.”

“The exotic worlds of the Bright Arda captivate fans of fantastic adventures. Ted Williams’ book is a delight—a romance that offers wonderful escape from the world of everyday life and banality.”

“This is the kind of book you want to read in one sitting. No one writes conflicts and myths better than Ted Williams. He really creates the races and nations of a world full of legends, mighty powers, and religions. The characters come alive, and the reader starts to truly worry about these people—just as they worry about each other.”

“From panoramic landscapes and tense, brutal battles to the tiniest weaknesses and personal feuds between characters, Williams’ writing is attractive and unforgettable. The heroes instantly take up residence in our consciousness as living, breathing people caught up in events beyond their understanding, beyond their world—yet never losing their existence as individuals.”
