Publisher's Summary

The second book in the acclaimed Licanius Trilogy by James Islington.

In the wake of a devastating attack, an amnesty has been declared for all Augurs - finally allowing them to emerge from hiding and openly oppose the dark forces massing against the land of Andarra. As the Augur Davian and his new allies hurry north toward the ever-weakening Boundary, however, fresh horrors along their path suggest that their reprieve may have come far too late.

His ally in the Capital, the new Northwarden, contends with assassins and politicians and uncovers a dangerous political secret. Meanwhile, their compatriot Asha begins a secret investigation into the disappearance of the Shadows.

And Caeden races against time to fulfill his treacherous bargain with the Lyth, but as more and more of his memories return, he begins to realize that the two sides in this ancient war may not be as clear-cut as they first seemed....

loving this story!

I'm generally a huge brandon sanderson fan for comparative reference. this story also has a bitty of "codex of alera" feel to it in terms of very full story with lots of action, intrigue, and twists. not the best for comic relief or really rich characters, but still good in those aspects, exiting plot is definitely the strong point, and what a cliffhanger!!!

Kramer saves this badly edited book

It is obvious how much time the author has spend in world-building and story background. However, that appears to have been to the expense of character development and editing.
While the story is extensive (although it does sometimes feel like the side arcs upon side arcs upon side arcs stray too far from the general arc) and action is well-packed, I've got no love for any of the characters, and gritted my teeth at the countless times a female put a strand of hair behind her ears, or whenever someone's brow furrowed. Not to mention the amount of time someone 'acceded' to someone else and the heavy use of adverbs. It's unfortunate, a thorough edit should've taken care of all these points of irritation and helped me enjoy the story more.

Wow!!!

Honestly wow.
Just finished second book and I am stunned at the pieces Islington has placed together.
So much mystery slowly unwrapped in an order that is unexpected but draws you forth.
As soon as you get comfortable and you start to think you are in Islington’s head he throws a curve ball.
I can’t wait to see how Islington concludes this wonderful intriguing story.
For lovers of Fantasy but I think those who love mysteries will also enjoy how it is this story unfolds.

Will become one of the greats.

This is enveloping and enthralling, a testemant to the fantasy genre. The speed and composition is fantastic. Can not wait for the next installation.
