With the death of Kahlia and her father, the Xakhar of Azur, Adrian’s claim as the new Xakhar meets with some opposition even though it seemed as if they’d completed the marriage ceremony. Now he must wait for the ruling of the consuls.
With the Yltigg at the city gates, Nasha, a hunter for the Ronar, continues her struggles with the curse as she continues her fight for the clans. What she doesn’t see coming is Leku’s betrayal.
Riding her griffin, Vedyr, Lynn continues the fight but Ildred remains convinced she is a traitor. As the Sentinels concoct a plan, The Madness continues to wreak havoc as its victims fall, the skin around their eyes tainted black. But Lynn knows the Domain is coming; making peace with the Yltigg will strengthen their position before that occurs. Seeking the Questioning, she hopes to remove the shadow of the Church’s doubt.
Will Adrian assume the mantle of Xakhar? Can Nasha convince the others to stop the fighting and prepare for the arrival of the Domain? What will happen to Lynn in the Questioning? What is the future for Avarin?
And what is happening to the trees?
=========
Beginning with a much-appreciated “the story so far,” the author reminds readers of events that have taken place and sets the stage for the continuing saga of the Ashes of Avarin. Picking up where “A Touch of Light” ended, the story continues without interruption. Adrian, Lynn, and Nasha continue to provide readers with their points of view; Kadmus brings a new perspective . . . and another secret.
Well-drawn characters convey their fears and hopes as they face the turmoil surrounding them; their backstories give depth to the telling of the tale. The world-building remains exquisite, the atmosphere charged and filled with tension.
The unfolding story grabs the reader from the outset and keeps the pages turning. There is much to appreciate in this installment of Avarin’s story . . . and much to anticipate as the story continues.
Highly recommended. (
