For most part I really liked this book. There were parts of the book that I felt were a little confusing but nothing to deter from.
The story is centered around three main characters - Ringil, Egar & Archeth (all very likable characters). Each one has their own journey that they are on but there are rumors that the Dwenda are back. The Dwenda are beings with magic that want to take over this world. They are beautiful yet cruel. It will be up to the trio to save their world.
The characters and the setting are the books strengths. The only weakness for me was I seemed to be missing some things when the book ended. I had a few questions that didn't seemed answered at the end. I feel that maybe the answers were there and maybe I didn't catch them. It's a book that I might have to reread.
I do recommend this book to any fantasy lover out there. Please be aware that there is explicit sex and violent scenes throughout the book. The sex scenes are heterosexual and homosexual in nature. The violent scenes are no worse that I've seen in other books but can be pretty graphic.
