Christie Golden takes us back into Byrnian history with this prequel to "Instrument of Fate." The definite strengths in this book include her characterization techniques, her background knowledge and her vivid imagery. Although I do not believe that the book's ending does proper justice to the beginning, it is a must read if you want to be drawn into a kind of book in which you become close friends with the characters.

I found this book to be just a tad to cliche for my tastes. The main characters were decently developed, although there is room for improvement. One of the things that I found more interesting was the pantheon of gods the author created and the resulting magical nature of the world.

All in all a moderately entertaining and quick read, but nothing that will knock your socks off.

this is a book about a man who looses his wife and daughter in a blotched robbery.he,derveren becomes a thief over the next seven years.he saves a kingdom helps control a plague and does it all in less than 340 pages.a good book not a great book.
