Synopsis

In Deverry the volatile history of humanity continues as a dashing young king journeys to his throne in disguise, fulfilling an ancient prophecy. In the Westlands the exiled lord Rhodry travels anonymously as a silver dagger—a mercenary—as he did in his youth, following a destiny that will take him from the grassy plains of the elven peoples to the hills and towns of Deverry, where dark forces are gathering. And from the shadowy land of the Guardians come omens, ill-defined and mysterious, that seem to point the way toward cataclysmic war . . .

Goodreads review by Di on March 28, 2020

Well I can definitely say that I don't like Jill anymore. To quote Salamander, she's now "cold and nasty hearted". I figured an education in the dweomer would smooth out any of her sharper edges but it actually seems to have blunted the compassion she once had. It almost feels like it wasn't just (view spoiler)[ N (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Barry on September 18, 2018

Not too much to say here, other than I really enjoyed it, I'm getting thoroughly engrossed in this series. We finally got to see more of Maryn cycle though I hope there is still more to come.
