Synopsis

In this sequel to The Well of Tears, the last bastion of magic standing against the dark forces threatening the prophecy of the Ancients has narrowly escaped destruction—wrought by the sorcery of one of its own. Reeling from loss and betrayal, the Stewardry at Fane Gramarye is in chaos. The young acolyte Glain is called to replace the traitor as Proctor and serve the new Sovereign. It has fallen to Alwen to lead the order and find the remaining Guardians of the Realms and their keys of power. Only then will the king of the prophecy win his throne. When assassins breach the protective veil surrounding the Fane, an unexpected evil is revealed. The renegade mage Machreth has garnered new allies and his agents might already have infiltrated the ranks of the order. Glain must discover where the treachery lies before Machreth bends destiny to his will, but the truth is shrouded by secrets. Though her visionary powers are strong, there are things Glain can’t foresee. Can she still trust those she calls her friends—or her own heart? For even Glain has something to hide…

I was in the mood for a light fantasy - and found myself wondering 'what happened next?' after reading the previous book by Trahan, 'Well of Tears.' Here, the perspective shifts from the sorceress Alwen's point of view to that of her second-in-command, Glain. The Stewardry continue to pursue their ba......more

Goodreads review by Les on March 13, 2016

Whereas the previous volume finished on a true carnage, treasons with abundance and members of the Stewards completely lost, without a head, we takes back the story where it had stopped and from a new point of view. It is with pleasure that we discover the continuation of the adventures of all this......more
