Publisher's Summary

At long last, the reason for the blessed Adept race's decline has been discovered: powerful beings known as Malorin'athgul are disrupting the Balance and preventing Alorin's Adepts from awakening to their gifts. Who are they? Where are they? And how can they be stopped when they wield a power meant to unmake the universe itself?

In T'khendar, Prince Ean val Lorian has forsaken his companions in blood and battle to join the traitorous Fifth Vestal in T'khendar in the hopes of gaining some insight into the tragedies that plagued his return. Now, he must confront the man he's long thought of as his enemy and discover the role he is meant to play in the First Lord's darkly magnificent game.

The Vestal Raine D'Lacourte has followed his traitorous oath-brother, Björn, through six kingdoms and into the distant realm of T'khendar seeking explanation and atonement. But the condemned realm harbors shocking secrets, and Raine soon realizes he's facing his greatest enemy yet - not in Björn, but in the truth.

Elsewhere in Alorin, the young truthreader, Tanis, faces a new villain in the fiery-eyed man he followed from the café in Rethynnea; the soldier Trell struggles to reconcile his growing feelings for the girl he rescued from the river against the guilt of his unknown past; and in Tambarré, another truthreader named Kjieran van Stone treads the incense-filled hallways of the Prophet Bethamin's temple, hoping to uncover a plot of treachery and betrayal before the Prophet demands his soul.

The time has come for each player to claim his role in the First Lord's masterful game. All will be tested, but only time will tell how many can survive the dagger of Adendigaeth.

Great story! Incredible voices and accents!

So far, I've loved both Book 1 and 2. I can't wait to start Book 3! The story is great, and the voices and accents are incredible!

Lots and lots of romance.

This book seemed to have much more romantic scenes and description than the previous installment.

It would be interesting to count how many times the phrase
"... took his/her breath away... " appears in this novel.

Not sure if I'll continue with the series, hours of romance isn't my cup of tea.

One of my favourite books (series) ever

Melissa McPhail has created a magical world full of great characters and a story that leaves you immediately wanting more. Nick Podehl gives a tour de force performance. I love how he brings both the male and female characters to life with such believability. Well done!! Can't wait for more of the story.

entangling breath of fresh air

This series is amazingly refreshing. even though some of the characters seem to have very strong plot armor, it doesn't detract from the telling of the story and how it pulls you into sympathizing with the characters in one chapter and despising them in the next. great story telling and great story.
