Reynold’s former shadow, Bet Kyston, is determined to root out King Roland's enemies,
but his version of help may cause as much harm as good.
There remains a traitor near to the throne, and when the king falls mysteriously ill,
Tristram’s strongest ally is forced to leave court. As his enemies move closer, the strength
of Tristram's regency is more precarious than ever. Abandoned and friendless,
Tristram must sacrifice everything to protect his homeland or risk not only Roland’s life,
but his own.

Excerpt :
“I thought you wanted me gone?”
Tris clamped his jaw shut so he didn’t say anything unwise, but then he realized that if
he couldn’t be honest with Bet, there wasn’t a soul in all of Llangard he could be honest with.
“I’ve never wanted you gone. I don’t want an assassin in Roland’s employ, but that doesn’t
mean I don’t want you there.”

“I’ve never wanted you gone. I don’t want an assassin in Roland’s employ, but that doesn’t
mean I don’t want you there.”
Bet, still fully clothed, climbed atop him, running his hands over Tristram’s bare chest.
“So all you wish is to change my nature?”
“So all you wish is to change my nature?”
“I do not,” he denied. He put his hands atop Bet’s, but didn’t hold them in place.
He let them roam over the planes of his chest, down the narrowing line of his waist,
just barely dipping below the sheets to tease at the trail of hair leading farther down. He took a shaky breath and reminded himself that they were conversing. Or they had been.

Bet smirked.
“You are more than what Reynold asked of you, Bet. More than what I’ve asked.”
Bet’s smirk turned into a scowl for a second, but then he was changing the subject with his
hands once again, slipping them both under the sheets.

OMG.. Dragon! My heart weeps for you!
*super cry face emoji*
This series is SUCH an adventure. I love
how we get like 10 different adventures rolled into 1 book.
Gillian/Maddox, Sadonie/Rhiannon,
Bet/Tristram, Lady Elenor, Hafgan, Dragon. Seems like a lot, but they all
intersect creating one epic adventure.
The intro to the Traehaearn and Rhys is
really interesting too. I am excited to see what happens with the combination
with them and Gillian and other magic users, the inevitable fight with Jarl and
the rescue of Dragon, the King, Tristram and his new discoveries and openness
with Bet, Lady Elenor, Rhys. I also need to know what happens with Sidonie and
Rhiannon, we kind of lose them when they're saving the kids from The Torndals.
Yes, this ends on what some may call a
"cliffhanger"...I call it a continuation. There's so much more that
needs to happen, yet I felt satisfied with what has occurred so far. Also, I think
Gillian was my favorite character in this portion of the series. I think she's
going to grow into a real badass :)
