Seven years have passed since Orris, a mage of Tobyn-Ser's Order, returned from the violent chaos of Bragor-Nal. The threat of attack from Lon-Ser has been eliminated, but the establishment of trade between Tobyn-Ser and its western neighbor has brought new and disturbing changes to the land. Large tracts of woodland have been logged and sold off in exchange for more of Lon-Ser's "advanced goods." The Order and the League continue their struggle for supremacy, and a new force, a "People's Movement," has allied itself with so-called independent mages who claim no ties to either body. In Lon-Ser, Melyor, the beautiful Gildriite who made herself Bragor-Nal's Sovereign, is nearly killed in an assassination attempt. Her ally, Shivohn, matriarch of Oerella-Nal, is herself killed by a similar attack. Treachery and betrayal lie at the heart of a plot that endangers not only Lon-Ser but also Tobyn-Ser and its Mage-Craft. When Jaryd, who has been unbound for months, finally binds to an eagle, he fears the worst, for, throughout the history of Tobyn-Ser, the binding of a mage to an eagle has always been a harbinger of war. When Cailin, a League mage, binds to a second eagle, Jaryd fears that his land teeters on the brink of Civil War. Crisis grips both lands. Can Melyor overcome an unseen enemy and a thousand years of prejudice to save Lon-Ser? Can Jaryd and Cailin bring peace to the mages of Tobyn-Ser in time to stop an old and emboldened enemy from destroying everything they hold dear?… (más)

Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.leafmarks.com by express permission of this reviewer I got to about the 50 page mark and it just wasn't working for me. Nothing bad and I can't really point out anything that was different from the previous books. It was rather slow though. Coe has another series that I'll try but I have my doubts as whether it will be any different. Coe seems to be on the slow boat to China and while that sometimes works for me, a lot of times it doesn't. Rating: 2.5 of 5 Stars Author: David Coe " ( )

Zelfs nu er handelsbetrekkingen zijn tussen onze beide landen, zelfs nu er zeven jaar voorbij zijn gegaan zonder verdere conflicten, blijft het volk van mijn land een diep wantrouwen koesteren jegens Lon-Ser.
