Debt of Bones isn’t really a continuation but merely a glimpse of the past. First Wizard Zedd was under major stress with the war going on between the Midlands and D’Hara. He was just named First Wizard and he was called by nickname the wind of death.

While many people stood in line to petition one of the wizards, a young woman waited impatiently to convince the First Wizard to help her save her loved ones and the entire village from the invading army of D’Harans. She wasn’t able to plead her case well since his mind was occupied by many, many, others. When she was sent out of his office and denied, she thought that her world has turned upside-down.

With a second chance to see the First Wizard, she showed him her mother’s skull from which she dug up because her mother said that there was a debt of bones that passed on to the daughter from the mother. With that said to Zedd, she was told that he would come along. Knowing full well that this was a trap to get the First Wizard to come to Coney Crossing, she couldn’t seem to feel so sorry for her child living among those D’Haran soldiers. This was her part to play so she could have her daughter back.

When Zedd followed to Coney Crossing, things of magic really started going down. Zedd allowed her till dawn to find her family but that was all he could afford to give her.

I enjoyed reading a bit more about Zedd and how the boundaries came to be. I thought that it was awfully short but was told well. I really enjoyed the ending. It told what kind of man and wizard Zedd truly is.
