Returning to the kingdom of Gul Kana, Princess Jondralyn has suffered a devastating loss, discovering that not all fortunes are to be assumed, not all scripture to be trusted.
At the same time, her younger sister, Tala, has found faith within herself while facing off against devious villains, who would use her gifts for their own devices.
The Five Isles are caught up in the deadliest conflict it has ever known, and Nail finds himself right at the heart of it all.
For the Five Warrior Angels have been revealed: Gladiator, Assassin, Thief, Princess and Slave, and one by one the weapons they once wielded are being excavated. Deep within the heart of these discoveries, an ancient prophecy is beginning to be fulfilled…
This was a long book, but really enjoyable. Durfee continues to develop the characters and story lines, and within this book, they all start to converge. I've knocked it down a star as I think it's longer than it needs to be; there are entire chapters where not a lot happens, but then again, there are chapters where loads happen, so it evens out, I suppose.
I've already started book 3, but it's frustrating when I start a series of books that isn't finished yet, like The Black Sword series, as when I return years later, I tend to forget what had happened.
