The third instalment of the Borderer Chronicles and, as with the two forerunners, expertly written, full of archaeological and geographical authenticity and thoroughly compelling from beginning to end. Having read the previous two tales ~ Three Hills and Devotion and the Devil, it was with great delight that I once again met with the characters, charting the continuation of their lives, successes and strife as would an old friend. The author did not fail to incorporate unexpected twists in the tale that while potentially complex, were woven so superbly as to allow the reader to keep up and understand the reasoning and feasibility behind such. Written with incredible emotion and of the appropriate kind depending upon the given juncture; the tension build will frustrate, the battle scenes enthral, the purest form of love will well inside the reader’s heart … I cannot recommend this book enough! I only hope that a further chronicle will be forthcoming in the not too distant future but in the meantime, I shall take great pleasure in reading the trilogy again.
