Back Cover Text: Shadow of the Past!
A wizard sacrificed himself to preserve the secrets of magic.
Centuries later, the survival of magic is again in question. The
key is a young lord whose heritage is tied to the tuatha dundarael, faerie
folk who practice powerful earth magic. These secrets are the weapons
that Guerrand and Bram DiThon will wield in defending their Art against
an old, scarred enemy.
For Lyim, Guerrand's former friend and now renegade wizard, seeks to
destroy the magic that he believes has forsaken him. The final battle
will rage across the universe.
Review:
This book is a great climax for the trilogy. Lyim has unbelievable
plans. Bram learns of his true origin. And Guerrand comes
to understand himself and his Test. This book takes powerful magic,
mixes it up with conquest, deceit, soul-searching, and sacrifice--and
the result is a conclusion to an excellent trilogy. Rating: 9/10.
