Clinging to an ominous suggestion from his young friend Fynch, an increasingly powerful mage, Wyl must walk his most dangerous path yet -- straight into the brutal clutches of Celimus in a desperate attempt to save his nation, his love, and himself.
The Series was well done and very readable -- I think the hardest part of this trilogy was waiting to read the complete story. -- Gayle Surrette, SFRevu
A fast-paced and enchanting page-turner. -- Kirkus, Reprinted on Monsters And Critics
Neither this nor the second Book quite lives up to the promise of the first, Myrren's Gift, but the tension builds nicely and anyone who has followed Wyl this far will definitely need to find out what happens. -- Jon Courtenay Grimwood, The Guardian
Fiona McIntosh, thank you for the great ending which had me biting my nails until the last word was read. -- Josephine Crowley, Infinitas Bookshop
