At this point in the series, I was through with libraries. Donita K. Paul had my interest firmly in her grasp, so I rushed out and bought this one the day after it was released. And it was worth it! Deeper than the others, more great story line, and deep characters. There's a difference here from the first three. There are fewer characters, which means more time to work on their development. Unlike the other three, I almost cried at the end of this one. It was that good. And there's one more after it!

Fire dragons are destroying villages and houses. Two wizards, husband and wife, are battling for control in risto's absence. But even more evil are Pretender's intentions. A plot that runs much more deep than anyone knows.

Bardon and Kale, now married, are given another quest, one they must complete separate from each other. Paladin is dying, but will Kale and Bardon be able to complete their tasks and save him? Another great story of love and courage!

What can I say about this wonderful book other than it has great characters and humorous people of all diffrents sorts. This is a extrodinary piece of work which should be shared with everybody. I challenge you to by this book and see what it is like. If you do not like it then that's okay but if you do like it then share it with others. Buy this book!

The epic struggle between good and evil, and the conflict against temptation comes to life as pain and tragedy strike Kale and Bardon in the midst of this incredible attempt to combat the greatest darkness that has yet come to Amara. I think this is Donita K. Paul's most action-filled adventure yet.
