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.

Love it! other reviewers claim rape? where??

where do all these other reviewers get that this book depicts graphic rape? I just finished this book and the most graphic it seemed to get was a thumb being inserted into another guy's mouth. there were some allusions to other things but that was it. I would consider this book PG-13. I've loved the series I love Nick Podehl, continuing on to the next book now.

A Huge Epic!

I loved the epics within the epic. This is a meaty series well written.

The "Game" is gaining full speed!

Which scene was your favorite?

How could one just pick a favorite scene? Every page and scene is intertwined with the others and watching how this all unfolds is illuminating in of itself on how the "Game" will intensify as this story unfolds.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Phenomenal

No regrets whatsoever about buying the whole series without having heard of the author. Great story and Nick Podehl is the best in the business.

Very good second book!

This is the type of book I search for. A long book that keeps you engaged each moment and makes me listen to it way longer than I should. Great story, great characters, keep those books coming!

Nice twist to plot

I love the amount of voices Podehl can portray. the way he's fully invested in each character just brings so much life into these books.
