Book description
The third, and last, instalment of Fiona McIntosh's gripping epic
fantasy, set in a world torn by revenge, love and ancient magic.
Loethar the Tyrant has established himself as the King of the Devona
Set. No longer seen as a tyrant, his reforms and peace-making efforts
have won over a section of society, especially since over the last 15
years, his people from the steppes have migrated and integrated into the
Devona kingdoms.
Loethar no longer believes Prince Leo, the rightful heir to the throne,
to be dead and hunts him and his outlaw allies; but another heir also
exists - one the usurper should fear more than a prince on the run… and
she has possession of the ancient Valisar enchantment.
Having learnt the truth of her parentage, her world and her family's
fate, she must decide whether to stay and face the King's wrath, or
escape back into the world she has hidden within for so many years.
Praise for Fiona McIntosh:
'It's a “just one more chapter” sort of book. Don't start reading in the
evening if you have to get up early the next morning'
