Synopsis
Set
in a fantastical medieval Europe, this is the second book in a compelling
trilogy of court intrigue, adventure and romance. Now, Wynter Moorehawke finds
herself alone for the first time in her life, caught up in confusing
formalities and politics very different to life back at court.
It
seems that every tyrant or bully who has ever threatened the kingdom is sending
delegates to meet with the Rebel Prince, and Wynter is increasingly nervous of
Alberon's intentions.
Razi
and her beloved Christopher soon make an appearance, but where friends go old
enemies soon follow, and Wynter finds herself confronted with the infamous
Loups-Garous. It is to Christopher's adopted people, the nomadic Merron, who
she must now turn for sanctuary. But the Merron have sided with Shirken, the
woman who has made it her life's work to wipe their race from the face of the
earth.
What
is behind the conspiracy, and is Alberon at the centre of it all?
Thoughts
Travelling,
that’s the basses of this story. The three of them end up travelling towards
the common goal. The Rebels camp.
Mostly
through this story, they are travelling. They are headed, learning and
wondering along the way. It’s a full fledge build-up to the end book, which
means that it can’t stand on it’s own. And I’m glad for it. Though it’s clearly
a book that needs an end, it was interesting and face passed and had you
needing the next book. Though it also made your think and wonder about what the
end was going to be….
I’m
still not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
I
found, maybe it was because I’ve read it so much, so now I only really read the
best of it, or what I thought was the best part.
The
romance between Wynter and Chris. Its’ slow, sweet and was it takes some steps
forward evidently it takes them back.
You
learn more about Chris threw this book. About what happened to him. Who did it.
A little more about who he is, and more so about the type of people he grow up
around.
I
actually really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t the first and yet it moved on
nicely and no matter what it progressed to a point that you need the next book.
You need to finish it.
Which
in a trilogy, that’s the main point, right?
