Skyborn by Lou Anders
For fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull comes the epic conclusion to the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy that began with Frostborn. Find the Horn. Free the City. The chase continues for the legendary Horns of Osius. Thianna and Karn's quest to retrieve the horns from those who wish to abuse their power takes them to Thica, an ancient land where two tyrant queens reign supreme and where years earlier Thianna's mother was labeled a traitor. Soon the two heroes are caught up in an epic battle for control of the kingdom, one that puts their very lives at stake. The only way to overthrow the queens is to beat them at their own game. But with an entire empire against them, how can Karn and Thianna hope to compete--or better yet, survive? The novel includes instructions for playing the board game the Queen's Champion, a Thican timeline, and King Herakles Hammerfist's recipe for the Best Spanakopita Ever.

Martin can happily cut their serial-fantasy teeth on this first book of an eventual series. --Kirkus Reviews * A powerful, fast-paced tale. . . . The setting is rich, the characters well-defined, and the danger ever-paramount. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Good pacing, well-drawn characters, and engaging action scenes. And yes, there's the promise of more to come. --Booklist From the Hardcover edition.
