Worldbinder is the sixth book of The Runelords Saga.

Fallion and Jaz are hiding in their own kingdom, biding time till they can resume their rightful places as sons of the great earth king, Gaborn. Meanwhile, the invading monsters threaten to take over completely. Fallion hears the call to heal the world, but when he attempts to do so, two worlds fuse combining the best and the worst of both. Now Fallion must fight a whole new set of monsters to heal the world.

Farland writes great monsters and monstrous people {what’s in the water of ST. George, Utah?} and epic action. His characters are well-drawn and suffer from human flaws that make their virtue not only more believable, but more admirable. Long may he write. Fantasy lovers: this is a series to collect as well as read. - Pam Allan
