Synopsis

This book, while following the previous stories, focuses a great deal on the Illindrist, Aasah, and his apprentice Yaela, strange people with stranger powers who come from a land of salt and fire.In the days of the Sundering, Quarabala—the Seared Lands—were cursed by Akari Sun Dragon and scorched beyond all recognition. Now a cruel place inhabited by nightmare beasts, the Seared Lands are home to a desperate few; and as fears of a second Sundering grow, these people look to greener lands. If no place is found for them, they will seize new lands from the soft hands of Those Who Dwell Above.They have nowhere else to go, they have nothing to lose …

Goodreads review by Ali on December 16, 2020

A solid third addition to the fantasy world that has been cultivated by Deborah Wolf. The author’s strength lies in her ability to deliciously, descriptively narrate the moment to moment awareness of each character. The world she has created is unique and full of depth. However, I hope that this is n......more

Goodreads review by Myridian on January 09, 2023

The weakest of the series in my opinion. This story continues to follow Sulema, Jian, Ismai, Hannei, and Ani while adding in Queen Maika of Quarabala. The action continues to roll along and the characters are real-feeling and engaging. But the story was a bit of a mess. It very much felt like Wolf c......more

Goodreads review by Claire on September 20, 2020

I expected it to join the threads of Jian and Sulema and bring these two parallel stories together. It didn’t. So when others describe this book as a finale I would not agre......more
