The epic saga of the Runelords continues as Fallion Orden faces his greatest challenge yet - imprisoned on a world ruled by an evil creature gathering armies to conquer the universe.

In the finest tradition of Tolkien, The Saga of the Runelords rises above the fantasy genre to special and individual heights. At the end of Worldbinder, Fallion Orden, son of Gaborn, combined two alternate realities and created a strange new world brimming with dark magic. Now, he lies in shackles at the heart of a vast city-prison, while the forces of evil grow stronger.

The creature ruling this world is gathering monstrous armies from a dozen planets, preparing to rage across the heavens. Only Fallion has the power to mend the worlds, but he is trapped. His allies must risk everything in a daring attempt to free him from the wyrmling horde.

Continuing the epic adventure of the Rune of the runelords series, Wyrmling Horde is a classic tale of sword and sorcery, filled with magic, prophecy, and a battle against an underworld army and a super warrior villain. This exciting installment in the bestselling epic fantasy series will captivate fans of traditional high fantasy and action-packed speculative fiction.
