Wizardborn continues the story of the struggle of Gaborn, now the Earth King, who has lost his powers but continues to lead his people. He must contend with the threat of the huge, inhuman Reavers, whose myriads Gaborn and his forces must now pursue across the nation. It has become Gaborn's fate to follow, even into the depths.

Raj Ahten, the great warlord endowed with the strength and qualities of thousands of men, once the primary threat to Gaborn, now struggles to retain his own empire. His war of conquest thwarted, his very life is now threatened by the Reaver thousands.

And a young girl, Averan, who has eaten a Reaver and absorbed some of its memories, becomes a keystone in the search for the dark Reaver lair.

Critic reviews

“Farland once again proves himself a wizard at storytelling….This latest is certain to summon past readers of the series back to bookstores.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Colorful, inventive magics, vigorous plotting, and gore aplenty.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Farland’s massive and compelling saga, which began with The Runelords, continues at a breakneck pace….As in the earlier books, the danger and violence are larger than life, and many die. But any grimness is leavened by the strong theme of love and respect for the earth and its denizens.” (Booklist)

This is the best book in the series so far. I haven't listened to the 4th yet, but I liked Wizardborn more than the first two(I gave all 4 stars). David Farland blends deep philosophy with near thriller-style pacing. The Runelords is a very different fantasy series for those two reasons. I highly recommend giving them a try, but you've got to start with the first or you'll be lost.

keeps up fast pace

This story was a great story in the series. It did a great job setting readers up for the final battle that is sure to come in book four. Each beat, scene, and act was astounding, tugging on the emotions until the very end. I can't wait to read the next story in the series.

A great 3rd story to this series

Fantastic surprises that you don't expect. My biggest dislike is when one action is being discussed and then you are taken to a totally different character and\or realm with no warning or break.

Great book and story

Pretty descent book

I love this line of stories and the voice actor is phenomenal. The only thing which is extremely small in my opinion is the amount of time that doesn’t pass lol all of this happening in like less than two weeks is crazy but they’re rune lords so doing all this without rest makes sense. Still great

Great story
