Description

Plague has ravaged the prestigious King's Cavalla of Gernia, decimating the ranks of both cadets and instructors. Yet Nevare Burvelle has made an astonishingly robust recovery, defeating his sworn nemesis while in the throes of the disease and freeing himself—he believes—from the Speck magic that infected him. And now he is journeying home to Widevale, anticipating a tender reunion with his beautiful fiancée, Carsina, and a bright future as a commissioned officer.

But there is no haven in the bosom of his kinfolk, for his nights are haunted by grim visions of treachery—and his days are tormented by a strange side-effect of the plague that shames his family and repulses the lady of his heart. And as the still-potent magic in his blood roars to life, Nevare realizes a terrible truth: that the enemy who seeks to destroy everything he loves dwells perhaps not without but within him.

Never Misses

I’ve enjoyed 40+ years of being a fan since reading Wizard of the Pigeons as a preteen. She is a master of her craft, with an amazing talent for finding a triumphant silver lining out of the ugliest parts of humanity. Her characters renew my faith in myself and all of us, while reminding me that life rarely yields victories without great, and sometimes, terrible sacrifices. This book is the valley of the trilogy that is mostly heart wrenching, buttressed by uplifting beats that propel you ever onward. Reading her works has always been time well spent; this book is another jewel for my collection.
