Summary

Abramm Kalladorne has returned to Kiriath to claim the crown he thought he would never wear and to prepare his people for the inevitable attack of the armies of the Black Moon. Though fiercely opposed by his own kin and reluctant to thrust his country into civil war at the worst possible time, he nevertheless believes this course of action is Kiriath's only hope of salvation.

In the midst of this turmoil, a headstrong princess from a neighboring realm endeavors to uncover Abramm’s secrets—including his heroic exploits as the White Pretender and the fact that he wears a golden shield upon his chest—and her interference threatens to destroy any chance he has of maintaining his rightful place of king.

Against a backdrop of somber council meetings and back-alley sword fights, of magnificent ballrooms and windswept mountain fortresses, plots and counterplots unfold as old alliances dissolve and new ones form. If he is to succeed, Abramm must come to terms with his own limitations—and the sufficiency of the one who controls his destiny.

Another wonderful book following the story of Abramm and his return home. Once started it was hard to put it down. His relationship with Eidon and that journey has been thoroughly enjoyable, navigating the difficulties and challenges that following the truth entails. Knowing the people around him, discerning who he can trust, what their motives are, excellent. I look forward to diving into the next of the series.
The only minor drawback has been the narrator. He has a pleasing voice and changes patterns for different characters well, but sometimes he is a touch too sing song like. Once into the story though it didn’t detract from the whole. Highly recommended

Excellent continuation
