Publisher's Summary

In Eileanan, victory has finally been won, and those of faery kind - from the mighty dragons to the mysterious nyx - have sworn their friendship and aid. Only the sea-dwelling Fairgean have refused to sign the Pact of Peace. Driven by ancient hatreds, they have devoted themselves to destroying all who dwell upon the land.

Troubled by the darkness that may lie ahead, Lachlan agrees to release his beloved Iseult from the sacred oath that binds them together. It will then be for Iseult to decide whether she will remain in the mountains to resume life with her own kin, or return to the man who let her go.

To help bring peace to Eileanan, Iseult’s flame-haired twin, Isabeau, must also face her most difficult challenge yet. But before she can prove herself worthy of both the scar of the Soul-Sage and the ring of the sorceress, she must first find a way to heal her own wounded spirit.

perfect narration and epic timeless tale

Okay so I still have 6 hours left to this most epic adventure, so I don’t know how all ends, but I can only say … I wish it wouldn’t end.

I listened to all six books at the nice slow speed of 0.8, (I had trouble understanding the beautiful accent) and honestly wished somehow it still took longer. Elle is an amazing narrator, her singing IS beautiful, I have been moved to heart ache and laughter in a way I don’t think I would have experienced when reading a physical copy.
The story is epic. I have read other Kate Forsyth books before, and loved them, but this series is by far my favourite. There is so much heart, emotion, tragedy, and although it is a fantasy novel, the feelings I have as I’ve witnessed Isabeau’s journey are very real. I only wish there was more from this world to read. Meghan particularly would have amazing stories to tell. I truly mourned —and still mourn!— George’s death. The league of the healing hands were so precious and brave and I wished a romance for Dylan. I want to see Finn’s story to her potential. And by Aya’s green blood Diada has every BIT of my heart and I ship him and Beau soooo hard. Lachlan outright annoys me, but I can never fully find fault and am quick to forgive considering his awful and tragic past.

How will I ever find another wholesome, beautifully written and perfectly narrated, timeless series ever again? If only brief amnesia, however tragic, could allow me to re-experience these stories for the first time again and again. My heart literally aches at the thought of completing this journey.

Dear Kate, or Elle, if you are ever down under, and find your feet in my hometown of Sydney, it would be an absolute dream to meet you. Such wonderful Godsend talent, it is inspiring.

Kate Forsyth series

I was introduced to reading at an early age and I have always loved the sci-fi world.
My introduction was Robert Jordan and we had a pact each of us could only read 2 chapters then my partner was able to read that2 plus two and we did this all the way to book 9. then we started again at 10 and thanks to Brandon and the other ppl who knew him and where he was going.
Then along came a spree of the most amazing writers and incredible stories Terry Brooks, Brandon Sanderson, Brandon Sanderson, Kate Forsyth, Terry Brook, and amazing stories that took you to the Cosmos in many ways.plus others I haven't enough room for all.
I will read all night and then go to work and devour another 500 pages and force myself to sleep. I am amazed that they can keep multi scenario going, while incorporating another 2,3,5 new scenarios in a single book.
We are blessed to have FREEDOM to read any books at all as there are still countries banning books, not forgetting the PC brigade banning, Noddy and Big ears and not Bananas in Pyjamas. I hunt dealers for the privilege to red these to my children and now grandchildren.
But erotica is ok for adults (18yrs) to read the books I knew that you have and that's ok. while 3 toys having a tea party is removed.

But it's a huge YES !!! from me to bring them back.

Please don't stop reading these fabulous books from such talented authors and like me try an Author who you've never read and suddenly another peice of gold is found.

Parents please disconnect the kids from as young as 10yr from Instant every thing and connect them to a new media called reading or listening to Audio books like me. I step carefully here of my soap box.

tied up nicely

An epic ending for a grand tale! Isabeau's and Isult's story concludes beautifully. Was happy with how everything was tied up.
