Synopsis

Alucius is happy to be back on his nightsheep stead with his beloved wife, Wendra, who is expecting their first child. But the country is beset by enemies on all sides. Although the Lord Protector of Lanachrona keeps his promise not to order Alucius back to active duty, Alucius finds his request for help no easier to ignore.

Newly promoted to a higher rank and given command of a combined force of the Northern and Southern Guards, Alucius must first quell a strange, religiously inspired rebellion and then find a way to destroy the powerful weapons of ancient design again being used by the forces of Madrien. Unlike the Lord Protector, Alucius can see that a third, covert, threat must be behind the other two. Only the timely assistance of the mysterious ancient Soarers and the addition of Wendra's Talent to his own give him any hope of success.

Goodreads review by Jim

This was a very good ending for the trilogy. It neatly wrapped up the story & answered most of the important questions, although it leaves enough hanging that a sense of mystery lingers & the trilogy could be extended.

Goodreads review by Daniel

Najbolji deo trilogije. Najzad smo zavrsili sa upoznavanjima i izgradnjom sveta i akcija moze da krene:) Jedino sto mi smeta u Modesitovim knjigama je insistiranje na izmisljenim recima kao zamene za dane u nedelji slicno.
