The third book in the trilogy, Ms. Sinclair has written a
stunning story. Readers will be engrossed as they discover
the source of the Shadowborn, a race that neither the
Darkborn nor the Lightborn want to believe in.
Telmaine works to save Ishmael from destruction and to learn
what has happened to her husband Balthasar. The fragile
alliance between the Darkborn and Lightborn is in peril.
Floria Whitehand will work to rescue her prince while the
sorcerers condemn the Darkborn. The Darkborn will have to
prove that they were not involved in the death of the King
of the Lightborn.
Both Ishmael and Balthasar will travel to the lands of the
Shadowborn to seek to end the conflict between two
sorceresses who would engulf all the lands in war.
Balthasar will be forced to do the bidding of his own nephew
who wields great power but has no control over it. At the
same time, he will try to prevent the catastrophe that he
senses is coming.
Never ending action and political intrigue will keep the
reader interested until the last page. Ms. Sinclair has
built an interesting world which barely keeps its balance
between the differences of the peoples created by The Curse.
She left the ending open for future books but I was sorry to
see this trilogy end.
From the author of Lightborn, the third book in a Regency-
flavored fantasy series of magic and manners. Magic dies
with the mage, or so the Darkborn believe. That's why Lady
Telmaine Hearne has been condemned to death for sorcery.
She's escaped but is now bound with her mageborn allies
for the Borders and war. Meanwhile, her husband,
Balthasar, has learned of his family connection to the
Shadowborn-and is fighting for survival and sanity as
magic turns him against everything he holds dear.
