The Heart of What Was Lost

A Novel of Osten Ard

By: Tad Williams

Narrated by: Andrew Wincott

The long-awaited continuation of one of the greatest fantasy trilogies ever written.


The world was nearly destroyed, but now knows hope again. At the end of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, Ineluki the Storm King, an undead spirit of horrifying, demonic power, came within moments of stopping Time itself and obliterating humankind.


He was defeated by a coalition of mortal men and women joined by his own deathless descendants, the Sithi. In the wake of the Storm King's fall, Ineluki's loyal minions, the Norns, retreat north to Nakkiga, an ancient citadel which holds a priceless artefact known as The Heart of What Was Lost.


They are pursued by the army of Duke Isgrimnur who is determined to wipe out the Norns for all time.
The two armies will soon clash in a battle so strange and deadly, so wracked with dark enchant­ment, that it threatens to destroy not just one side but quite possibly all.

Critic reviews

Without Tad Williams there would be no Game of Thrones.

Fans of Tad Williams will delight in this new addition to his work - new readers could not have a better introduction.

This is gritty, gripping fantasy with heart and guts, and we can't wait to read more.

Very good

Very good and not to long as many other books in the series fel like.

Wow. Brilliant!

Tad Williams shows us that he is still one of the best fantasy authors. The story is great and the narration is amazing! My favorite narrator so far :D
