Synopsis

The Aliomenti village is in ruins, destroyed by one of their own, its population nearly eliminated in the calamity. From the ruins, the Aliomenti rise to international prominence, influencing buyers and sellers, warriors and bureaucrats, as they patiently and invisibly expand their empire.

Will Stark serves as the driving force behind that expansion. Whether he's creating their innovations or offering subtle hints, few of their revolutionary progressions are made without his influence.

But Will is dealing with his own private heartache. Even as he watches his fellow Aliomenti ascend to heights few of them imagined possible, his long journey becomes one he'll make alone. He's haunted by the knowledge that what enables him to make that journey will also prevent him from seeing his most important mission to its completion.

Will must persevere, fighting through his own gloom, an organization that threatens to tear itself apart, and a reunion with old friends at an inopportune time. He'll come to realize that his own decisions, his own inability to understand even those he knows not to trust, have enabled a tyrant to seize control of the Aliomenti in the aftermath of a crisis.

Of the first three books of the Aliomenti Saga I found this one the most boring. Maybe there wasn't enough romance in it for my taste. I am curious about the rest of the story though. What will happen to old Will when young Will is born and is married to Hope? And what will happen to Hope when the A......more

Goodreads review by Ragne on May 21, 2018

I have no idea why I read as far as the third book. It's really not good. I have seldom seen so many historical... well, it's not even inaccuracies, it's just plain wrong. The story could have been so good, if there was actually a story line to follow. Mostly, it's just detailed descriptions of thin......more

Goodreads review by Scott on May 28, 2013

As much as I loved the first two books in the series, I wanted to love this book as well. It had all the promise, but just failed to deliver. The writing in the first two books (A Question of Will and Preserving Hope) was tight and kept things moving forward at a solid pace. The writing here wasn't......more

Goodreads review by Bryan on September 01, 2017

Quite a good series. The only downside is the author's penchant to repeat things several times, as though the reader is unable to remember character motivations already explained from previous chapters.......more
