More About This Book

Overview

At last, the story fantasy fans have been waiting for? Now in paperback.

The incredible story that fans of The Sun Sword series have been waiting to read-the battle for control of House Terafin...

Orphaned and left to fend for herself in the slums of Averalaan, Jewel Markess-Jay to her friends-meets an unlikely savior in Rath, a man who prowls the ruins of the undercity in search of artifacts and treasure. Nursing Jay back to health is an unusual act for a man who renounced his own family long ago, and the situation becomes stranger still when Jay begins to form a den of other rescued children in Rath's home. But worse perils lurk beneath the slums: the demons that once nearly destroyed the Essalieyan Empire are stirring again, and soon Rath and Jay will find themselves targets of these deadly and ruthless beings.

    Wonderful

    For everyone who's been waiting for Jewel's return, you won't be disappointed. At first I wasn't sure what I thought about the fact that this book went all the way back to the beginning of the den, instead of starting off where we last saw Jewel, but as soon as I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It's great to see how the den came together, to learn about things hinted at in previous books. Sigurne and Merlonne are both in the book, it's amazing how Michelle West has gone back into the past with these characters, just wait until you hear Sigurne tell about her past...just too wonderful. This is story telling at its finest. Oh and we get to finally meet Duster.After reading this book I am so glad Michelle West did go all the way back to the start of the den. I cannot even begin to say how great this book is.

    fantastic epic fantasy

    Although Rath considers himself a businessman, most people classify him as a scavenger of antiques in the undercity he sells his finds to dealers who have clients desiring objects from before the Blood Wars. A reclusive loner who believes he needs no one, not even his family he helps a homeless sick child Jewel by taking her into his abode and nursing her back to health. She informs him that when he goes out tonight to sell artifacts, he will be followed. Forewarned, he spots the hunters and spends hours trying to allude them. In the days that follow, Jewel finds orphans whom she sees in her visions and brings them to Rath¿s home. Much to his surprise he allows them to stay. When invisible beings follow Rath, he uses magically constructed weapons to transmit them back to Hell because they are demons disguised as men. Further circumstances lead Rath and Jewel to believe that the demons have a plan for the empire and that they have roles in the upcoming conflict --- This is a fantastic epic fantasy filled with intrigue and mystery that fans of Kate Elliot will appreciate. Michelle West has created a vivid world that readers will believe exists with them in it. Rath and Jewel are fully developed characters who have a form of PTSD as each has suffered trauma and pain. Together they make a formidable force ready to oppose the demonization of the empire. --- Harriet Klausner

    A nice continuation

    It was very nice to read the prequel. It didn't grip me as much as some of her other books, but it was still a good read.
