Publisher's summary

A master of subterfuge, a rogue thief with a noble air, Seregil of Rhiminee has taught his young protege, Alec of Kerry, his greatest secrets of the trade. Together they've made their way with thieving jobs large and small, winning friends and enemies, their lives in constant danger and yet charmed by an aura of magic, friendship, and trust.

But now, as their adopted country prepares for war, Seregil is called away by the ancient wizard Nysander to face the ultimate challenge of loyalties and entrusted with a deadly knowledge that, if breached, could cost both Seregil and the unwitting Alec their lives. And as Alec learns the shocking truth of his own shadowed heritage, he, Seregil, and a handful of loyal companions are catapulted into a tumultuous conflict with the ultimate evil, in which magic alone may no longer shield them from harm.

All smiles

What a magnificent read! This was yet another amazing story told by one of the best authors I have ever known. I feel so lucky to have come across this series. Its a wonderful adventure and escape into a layered story of love, gender, sexuality, and faith.

Explicit Homosexuality! And A Darker Plot

Truthfully, there is not all that much hot man-on-man action going on until the second book, and even then there is not a great deal of it. I mean, this is not like a P.L. Nunn novel (not that I read that kind of stuff *awkward cough*). All in all, I enjoyed the second book much more than the first one. A nice spooky plot, not as much lecturing speeches by characters as there was in the first book, a good deal of action...yeah, it was pretty okay.

loveable characters and captivating story

The night Runner series is a fantastic fantasy which holds your attention through to the end, leaving you wanting more. The depth and breadth of the characters elicits such emotional bonds that you genuinely care for each of them. Creating such strong bonds causing you to forget they are not real. Their love and devotion inspire hope for yourself and of envy, with a willingness to accept the hardships they faced if it meant finding someone in which that level​ of reciprocal trust and love were possible.

I didn’t expect to find a new favorite series

This was a roller coaster of emotions and adventure. I loved every single minute of it!

Didn't want it to end........

Great listen. I really ejoyed the characters, hero's that don't see themselves as perfect. The adventures were filled with the tension of doubts and fear and the excitement of success. This is one of those stories that I was anxious to find out what happens at the end, yet reluctant to finish because my adventure would be over and the next book is not available yet. I REALLY hate not wanting to finish a book because it was so good!! I'll take this kind all the time...

Not as good as the first in the series.

A good book, but not as good as the first in the serires. The gay love affair didn't seem to fit the story, and the plot wasn't as fast moving or interesting as the first.

great story, passionless narration

The narration is acceptable. It's not intolerable. But he's definitely not trying to be a voice actor. Seregil and Alec have the same voice and use the same intonations as if they are the same person. Some other characters, like Micum, actually do have some unique voices and pretty good accents though.
There are some lines of dialogue during tense situations that make me laugh because there is no attempt at acting. One more book to get through, then hopefully the next narrator tries harder.

Still the Best of Stories

The sequel doesn't disappoint - but then again, I didn't expect anything less from Ms. Flewelling.
