The Obsidian Throne




Bestselling author J.D. Oswald has created a fantasy series like no other. Now, with The Obsidian Throne, Oswald brings his imaginative tour-de-force to an unforgettable finish

There is no war in the northlands, just annihilation. Either the dragons will destroy this world or Queen Beulah will raze it to the ground.

Below the city is a secret the House of Balwen have kept for millennia, a treasure beyond counting. None but a direct descendent of Balwen himself can open the escape routes from this cavern. To do so Iolwen will need to claim the Obsidian Throne.

Meanwhile Errol and Sir Benfro find their destinies drawing closer together, with the future of all life in the Twin Kingdoms resting in the hands of these two unlikely heroes. There will be self-sacrifice and terrible betrayals. And the lives of boy and dragon will be forever changed.

Praise for The Obsidian Throne

Quite simply , an absolutely awesome read which kept me enthralled from start to finish

Fantasy Book Review

The sort of book I want to sit down and read to people on a stormy night. Everything a fantasy fan could ever want is woven into the warp and weft of the narrative

Paul, Goodreads

I can't wait to read the next book in this series

Guardian

I absolutely loved this! It's unlike anything I have read before

Christine, Goodreads

Magical. With Game of Thrones making mythical creatures universally cool, The Ballad Of Sir Benfro couldn't have come at a better time

Culturefly

One of the best new fantasy novels I've read recently
