The conclusion to the Masters of the Storm series finds High commander Ryken recovering from a critical wound he received from a demon. For the first time in his life, his recuperation has left him with no responsibilities, even as the kingdom remains threatened by a barbarian sorcerer. While Cragor, Ryken's second-in-command, leads the warriors both in battling demons and in searching for the missing sorcerer, Ryken becomes uncomfortably aware of an unbidden yearning to leave the warrior class. As Ryken struggles to come to terms with his secret desire that is totally at odds with his oath-bound duty to the Covenant, the arch mage reveals to Ryken that not only did he father children with Ravenwynd, a witch in another realm, but those children are spoken of in a prophecy as the key to defeating the sorcerer. When the arch mage kidnaps the children from their home so they can fulfill the prophecy and hopefully save Kildaga, Ryken is faced with the hardest decision of his life, pitting his newfound desire to safeguard his children against his sworn duty to the Covenant.

Writing fiction has always been her passion, beginning with 'mission reports' that she wrote for the enjoyment of her role-playing group. She finds herself drawn to particular characters and enjoys telling their stories, allowing them to dictate the genre of the book.

She loves animals and enjoys spending time with her four-legged friends, including a one-eyed kitty and an epileptic dog. Having spent years observing the cats and trying to discern their true thoughts, she enjoys giving them a voice in some of her books.
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway awhile back (sorry it took so long to get to it). I haven't read any other books by the author.
Great flow. Once I got into the story, I found it hard to put down. I didn't feel like I was missing a lot from not having read the rest of the series. I'm not saying don't read the first five books I'm saying it didn't impede my enjoyment of this because I hadn't read them. I liked the characters and found them to be well thought out. I may eventually go back and read the other books in the series.
I received this book for free from the author/publisher in response for an honest review of the book. I have not had the opportunity to read this book at this time. I will add my review of this book once I have read the book. Thank k you for allowing me the optometrist review your work. I look forward to reading this book.
