Publisher's summary

In the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade.

In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt.

Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her, and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city - or themselves.

Interesting story with a rather anti-climatic endi

The story has some interesting elements though rather slow. I strongly feel this story borrows heavily from a more well known trilogy though I will not name it. In the end I found the pacing rather slow and the ending felt very dull. I understand that characters are explored through their thoughts and history; but in some cases it felt more a distraction than meaningful. I daresay some of the characters just felt tiresome to me in general.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
