Set in the world of the 'Sword Of Truth', this novella predates and gives fresh insight to, 'Wizard's First Rule'.
A debt of bones knows no bounds, least of all death. When Abby arrives in the great city seeking help, she has no idea that her desperate appeal will turn out to be anything but simple, or that what she carries with her in a tattered burlap sack could unleash annihilation.
Amid the sweep of a world besieged by war, 'Debt Of Bones' is the story of a young peasant woman's struggle to win the aid of the most important man alive. Both share the shadow of an ancient debt that, if called due, could send the fate of countless lives tumbling towards catastrophe.
Abby finds herself trapped not only between both sides of the war but in the mortal conflict between two powerful men. For Zedd, who commands power most men can only imagine, granting Abby's request would mean forsaking his sacred duty. With the storm of the final battle about to break, they are caught up in a desperate fight to save the life of a child, but neither can escape the deadly spectre of betrayal and treachery. With time running out, their only choice may be a debt of bones.
