Overview

“Come at once. Ares is dying.” So reads the frantic message from Surchataine Nicole that brings Ares’ adopted son Henry out of exile after two years. When Henry arrives at Westford, he discovers vultures gathering over the province, eyeing Ares’ twin 14-year-old daughters, Sophie and Bonnie.

Accustomed to patrolling the wild western border of Lystra to keep out slavers, Henry must now readjust to courtly intrigues—a task made all the more difficult by the meaningless but conspicuous leper’s brand on his hand.

Matters come to a head when Surchatain Magnus of Scylla comes for an unexpected visit. He brings not only the spoiled, immature son he plans to marry off to Sophie, but a surprise guest who has designs on a most unwilling Henry.

In Extremis is Book Seven of The Latter Annals of Lystra. The story continues in Book Eight, All Mirrors and All Suns.

    In Extremis

    Oh my goodness, I really enjoyed this one. Yes, I always love Robin's books, but this one was especially good.

    Henry has grown up and is dealing with man-sized problems in learning how to govern a kingdom and himself. The twins, Bonnie and Sophie, are growing up, too, and as usual, are always in some sort of trouble. And Ares realizes more than ever that his rule in Westford is only temporary.

    I loved how I never knew what was coming next and how grim periods were followed by ones that made me smile. How could I possibly resist knights and ladies and jesters and ransom and secret passages and circuses and betrothals and hanging trees and mouse races? And who else gives her readers all this in one book but Robin Hardy?
