"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. In STONE OF FAREWELL, Tad Williams sets his characters against impossible odds - and proves that the beloved, internationally-bestselling DRAGONBONE CHAIR was no fluke, but one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time. But no one knows where the Stone of Farewell is. A single chance remains: if Simon can deliver Thorn to Joshua and lead his followers to the Stone of Farewell, the rebels may be able to muster the forces necessary to rise up against Elias and the Storm King. And the Storm King may also be in possession of one of the swords. But Simon is more alone than ever before: his friends have been imprisoned and his liege lord, Prince Josua, has been exiled. Once but a humble kitchen-boy, Simon is now Simon Snowlock, dragonslayer and bearer of the mythical sword Thorn. A single hope remains: if the rebels can find the three swords of legend - Memory, Sorrow and Thorn - they might be able to bring the Storm King and evil King Elias down.

Following a brutal civil war, Osten Ard has been crushed under the rule of the two villainous High Kings.
