A WAR FUELDED BY
THE DARK POWER OF SORCERY

is about to engulf the peaceful land of Osten Ard - for Prester John, the High King, slayer of the dread dragon Shurakai, lies dying. And with his death, an ancient evil will at last be unleashed, as the Storm King, undead ruler of the elvish-like Sithi, seeks to regain his lost realms through a pact with one of human royal blood. Then, driven by spell-inspired jealousy and hate, prince will fight prince, while around them the very land begins to die.

Only a small, scattered group, the League of the Scroll, recognizes the true danger awaiting Osten Ard. And to Simon - a castle scullion unknowingly apprenticed to a member of this League - will get the task of spearheading the quest for the solution to a riddle that offers the only hope of salvation, a ridde of long-lost swords of power... and a quest that will see him fleeing and facing enemies straight out of a legend-maker's worst nightmares!

"AN EPIC TALE OF THE
STRUGGLE OF GOOD AGAINST
EVIL... THE STRUGGLE
BETWEEN BEING AND UNBEING...
AN EXQUISITE RENDERING
OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN FORCES
OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS."
- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review


It is a time of darkness, dread, and ultimate testing for the realm of Osten Ard, for the wild magic and terrifying minions of the undead Sithi ruler, Ineluki the Storm King, are spreading their seemingly undefeatable evil across the kingdom.  With the very land blighted by the power of Ineluki’s wrath, the tattered remnants of a once-proud human army flee in search of a last sanctuary and rallying point - the Stone of Farewell, a place shrouded in mystery and ancient sorrow.

And even as Prince Josua seeks to rally his scattered forces, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll are desperately struggling to fulfill missions which take hem from the fallen citadels of humans to the secret mountain caves of the Qanuc trolls... across storm-tormented waters to discover the truth behind an almost-forgotten legend... to the secret heartland of the Sithi, where the near-immortals must at last decide whether to ally with the race of men in a final war against those of their own blood....

Replete with war, deception, adventure, sorcery, and romance, TO GREEN ANGEL TOWER is the stunning and surprising finale of Tad Williams' monumental tale of a magical conflict which fractures the very fabric of time and space, turning both humans and Sithi against those of their own blood.
