Synopsis

"A dagger laid against our throat."

Such is the description Prince Dar of the Weslands uses for Zakh Gral, a new fortress built by the Horsekin, the ancient enemies of his people.

To help him destroy this threat, the elven prince has called upon his allies: the dwarven folk of the northern mountains and the human men of Deverry to the east. Their leaders know that if the Westlands fall to the Horsekin, their own throats will feel that dagger next. Joining them are two powerful dragons, who have their own bitter reasons to hate the Horsekin.

But the fanatical Horsekin believe they have the most powerful ally of all, a new goddess. Alshandra's priestesses have announced that She has given the Horsekin the lands belonging to the prince—and that his people must be utterly destroyed . . .

The very things which made The Golden Falcon stand out a bit from the rest of the Deverry cycle are missing from this one. Once again we leap back in time to go over some period of history which sheds light on current events... But I really wonder how important they really were. Yes, there were thin......more

Gelukkig maakten we weer een trip naar het verleden en kregen we een interessante interactie tussen eerdere incarnaties van Jill/Branna en Cullyn/Gerrant en Nevyn. Nevyn blijft mijn favoriete karakter uit de hele serie en ik had niet verwacht hem nog weer te zien, dus was ik blij verrast! Daarnaast k......more
