“Crimson flags borne on horses of white, see them ride, ye children of light." – The Ballad of Eldwal
At the author's request – because I have totally not loved the first three books nor was this one already on my shelf waiting for me to finish Pern – I have started Echoes of Ghostwood, the fourth and final book of J.V. Hilliard's Warminster Series.
"From
the hallowed horns of the Bridge, the warning sounds," once said Til
Aarron, Longmarcher and Bard, and now the those ancient horns sound
again as the Moor Bog and their cryptid allies bring battle to Castle
Valkeneer. To Sir Ritter Valkeneer and Princess Addilyn Elspeth who,
along with their families and allies, must hold out against impossible
odds...all unknowing that Graytorris the Mad had unleashed a power that
is truly, shall we say, Ancient. Yet hope remains, and the tide is turning, for Last Keeper Daemus Alaric and his
companions now ride with the Erud's book and an Ancient heart that, if
all goes as I think it might, could teach the Moor Bog a new and painful
appreciation for the phrase "friendly fire." Either way, the most
dangerous parts of the fell alliance from the Dragon’s Breath Mountains
brings final inhuman war upon Warminster, and I do not need Erudian Sight to know that the realm will
scream with agony before sighing with relieved salvation as this truly
epic and unpredictable saga concludes.
