I predicted that this book would begin with battle and I was right, for the Autumn Equinox is but a day away and Fel's servants must be stopped ere far more than Daffyd falls. Yet the Barbárs hordes and their sadistic Angor blood-shaman allies hold the Tor and advance deeper into the Green Mount, spilling Highlander blood all the way. While further south, though Lachland is for the moment safe, the Church of the Five are up to their polite necks in bloody plays for power... and has it in for Queens the world over. All of it wrapped up in a web of far-reaching plots complex enough to make a spider envious, so here's hoping that Queen Darienne and the Raven Corvus Corax and their kith and kin can – even without full understanding – fight their way through it since the price of failure is...total.
The battle cry goes out as swords are drawn… "Protect the Tor!"
(Naturally the Official Book Review will come after I finish the book.)
