In the months following Meaghan's reported death, her kingdom has chosen to reestablish villages, hiding behind protection spells Garon continues to breach. Nick barely holds the Æerenden people together as he prepares them for the final battle.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Guard still thrives. Their spies have infiltrated every part of the kingdom, working to eliminate the royal family and a power they believe will destroy everything good.
Hope and trust have given way to fear and despair. Death seems imminent. And a senseless voice from the past offers the only clue for survival. Keep a fire burning...
Kristen spent her childhood at the feet of an Irish storytelling grandfather, learning to blend fact with fiction, and imagination with reality. She lived within the realm of the tales that captivated her, breathing life into characters and crafting stories even before she could read.
Those stories have since turned into over a hundred poems, several short tales, and five manuscripts in both the Young Adult and Adult genres. Currently, Ms. Taber is completing the sixth book in the Ærenden series from her home office in the suburbs of Washington D.C.
A fantastic finish(?) to the series. I love the way the author keeps the characters fresh yet familiar at the same time. Could there be more from Kristen Taber? I sincerely hope so.
This is getting better and better, a total page turner. I had to reach the end and find out if Nick and Meaghan were successful in there plan for the kingdom. The storytelling was awesome, I was sure I was there for the battle. Totally recommend this book. Off to read the next one.
