About the book:
Lady Shona, the newly crowned queen of the realm, is a leader without a throne. Pursued relentlessly by a dark force, her small contingent of loyal followers must make a difficult choice--flee or fight. Determined to save her land from nefarious threats, Lady Shona decides that she must seek out the enemy and attack them head on--a strategy that leads back to the region of the Three Valleys where Hyam was born.

Alas, Hyam has been struck by a mysterious illness that is silently sweeping through the realm. Known as the wasting disease, the sickness has no cure. But there is one shred of hope for Lady Shona and the realm--and it comes in the most unlikely of forms. A young orphan, untested and untrained, could well mean the difference between victory and total defeat.

Thomas Locke concludes his epic trilogy with a gripping tale of courage that will inspire readers to persevere even when all seems lost

My Thoughts:
Maybe I'm a little bored with the fantasy genre. Maybe it was the overall pace of the book. I don't know. But for whatever reason, this book was really just OK. It was a good conclusion to the series. But I didn't enjoy it the same way that I did book 1 in the series. Daly was an interesting character though. There were times when I was reading it that I felt her character could have been made a bit more in depth. 

Overall, it was ok.

I received a copy from Revell for the purpose of reviewing. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rating - 3 stars
