Book Description

Two surprising allies have emerged to aid the embattled ruler in a struggle he must win: Cefwyn's two young sons. Aewyn Marhanen is the prince destined to rule. Aewyn's half-brother, Elfwyn Aswydd—the bastard son of the king and the sorceress Tarien Aswydd—has spent years unawContinue

Two surprising allies have emerged to aid the embattled ruler in a struggle he must win: Cefwyn's two young sons. Aewyn Marhanen is the prince destined to rule. Aewyn's half-brother, Elfwyn Aswydd—the bastard son of the king and the sorceress Tarien Aswydd—has spent years unaware of his parentage, yet now it is his time to emerge and claim the gifted birthright he's been denied for so long.

But a dark, sinister magic has crept close to the young man and seized hold of the kingdom. Nothing is as it seems, as the bonds of family strain against the powerful forces that would see them undone—and the battle is joined to unmask and destroy the malevolence that threatens to unhinge the king's peaceful and fragile reign.

    It looks like Cherryh is beginning another section of the "Fortress" series, now going on with Cefwyn's two sons. Though it seemed to take a long time to get things really going, the book was satisfying in the end, bringing back characters we remember from the first series, and concluding well. I think Cherryh's weakness is her endings, but she did very well in this book.

    I recommend this book, but be sure to read the others or you will probably be completely lost. If you have read them, you may want to review.
