Havgan of Corania knows he is different from others, but he does not know why. He does know, however, that he adamantly hates the witches of Kymru. When he becomes Warleader of Corania, he sets the might of his empire against them and their country. Gwydion the Dreamer and his friend Rhiannon travel to Corania to spy on Havgan after Gwydion’s dream reveals Havgan’s imperialistic desires. In their frantic attempt to save Kymru, they risk everything. But when a thoughtless action threatens to doom them all, Gwydion and Rhiannon must fight not only to discover Havgan’s secret but also to understand why Havgan seems so hauntingly familiar.

This book goes way beyond a typical fantasy - the characters that we were introduced to in Night Birds' Reign are put in situations that are both suspenseful and heartbreaking. The plot is not black and white and neither are the people. Ms. Taylor masterfully brings us into her created kingdoms with passion and understanding. Although the setting is fanciful, the behavior of the characters is believable and true. From the first gripping chapter to the last, I literally couldn't put it down. Well done.

Just finished this second book of the series on my Kindle. Excellent story and characters. Ms. Taylor was not afraid of getting rid of some the important characters found in the first book, making her story of Arthur so very interesting. I've purchased the third book, and can't wait to get started.

Crimson Fire builds on the strong promise of Night Birds' Reign and continues to deliver a crackling good story. As a previous poster wrote, the villain is a superb addition to the colorful cast of characters. In fact, "color" characterizes a lot of this series -- a beautifully realized fantasy world that glows with color and life. The plot takes twists and turns and heads off in surprising directions, and the reader is along for a thrilling ride.
