Publisher's summary

Since his arrival in Talohna, Kael Symes has experienced some of the worst that it has to offer. However, when he wakes from a frightening coma, he finds that Talohna’s magic may be permanently broken, and a dire new threat is situated on Solikyr’s doorstep....

With a terrifying and powerful faction so close to his new home, Kael does everything he can to shore up the unstable alliance brokered by Ember and Max before their departure for the World Peace Summit. However, Treach’s unannounced arrival at Solikyr Castle during his search for Niis’ final resting place and a shocking revelation from the summit force Kael and his new apprentice to search for a way to get to Corynth before disaster strikes.

Forced to travel part of the way overland, Kael, Kenna and Sephi stumble across what appears to be a Ri’Tek invasion of Stillwater in Northern Cethos. Though seriously outnumbered and helpless to stop the invasion, Kael and Sephi do manage to help an important witness escape the fighting before pushing on to Corynth.

Protected by the summit’s diplomatic immunity laws, Kael joins Ember and Max in a desperate bid to expose the Ri’Tek for who they truly are, but even the testimony of a high-standing witness may not be enough to sway the World Council to act, leaving Queen Bale no choice but to finally respond to the Ri’Tek on her own. But faced with the invasion, will the stubborn Cethosian queen actually send her troops to war, or will the insurmountable odds finally force Cethos to its knees? With the Ri’Tek firmly entrenched in Stillwater and war looming on the horizon, the Vikress' plan quickly comes to light, forcing events down a nightmare path no one could have ever imagined...a path that may lead to Talohna's long forgotten past and a long forgotten goddess.

I Just can't get enough!

I fell head over heals for this series. I have a connection to everyone of the characters, some I can not stand, and some I just love to no end.. JD is such a brilliant writer. when I read his books I can see the world in the book in my mind! i can not wait till the next book come out!
and Simon Vance is by far the best narrator! I can listen to him forever!
keep the books coming JD!

Really good read

When I started the series I wasn’t sure with how the story jumped back and forth. But as I continued the story pulled me in hook line and sinker. Franx world building is top notch. And damn does he know how to leave you on the edge of a cliff. So can’t wait for the next book!!!

best book yet

This was the best book in the series yet. Towards the end it was rushed which makes me sad, but it did explain everything.

Best book in the series yet!

This book serves as proof, that JD Franx only continues to grow as not only an author, but even as a story teller. This has been my favorite of the series thus far, and I can only imagine how much better future installments will get! A MUST READ!

sad its over

these books don't come out quick enough. can't wait for the next one! I missed a couple characters in this book and was hoping to hear more about their machinations, but overall I'm really excited to see where the story is going.
