About this listen

For the devoted followers of the dazzling Deverry and Westlands cycle, Katharine Kerr continues the magical epic saga she began in The Red Wyvern.

In her latest tale, the scene shifts seamlessly between the shattered land of the Rhiddaer and the historic end of the Civil Wars, when Lilli, newly apprenticed to dweomer, fought with her untried powers to save her beloved Prince Maryn from evil.

Centuries later, in the city of Cerr Cawnen, the old evil awakens yet again when the sorceress Raena schemes to destroy Rhodry Maelwaedd, her bitter enemy during life after life. But her malice will draw the intervention of astral powers-and unleash the ravaging rage of Rhodry's guardian dragon. Only another untried dweomer can buy safety for the city and the berserker himself-and only at a most fearsome price . . .

After the exciting and fast moving sieges and entry of a dragon in the last book, the pace almost comes to a standstill, with hardly anything happening at all in either timeline other than setting up the next book. In the past, everyone is running around like an oversexed teenager driven by hormones while the tablet continues to be an evil mystery and Maryn is no closer to being king. in the present, nothing much has happened other than people waiting around for spring, being concerned and hints at what is to come. This seems very much like a placeholder. Have loved the series so far, but this book more Days of Our Lives style drama, with much less swords and sorcery than the previous entries

Not much happens. A bridge between plotlines
