Product Description

Review

"The suspense is palpable, the landscape tactile and the characterisations, although archetypal, are credible and well drawn . . . a skillful ride through an exotic and diverting panorama of incident, song and self-discovery." —Sydney Morning Herald

Product Description

High adventure, romance, worldly ambition, and magical power all come into play when three extraordinary young people escape from the Palace of Arvestel and flee on horseback, pursued by the army—and by sinister magic

Tansy, Perrin, and Skir could hardly be more different—a laundry maid, a swordsman, and a young priest-king whose countries are at war. But their frantic escape from Arvestel thrusts them together. Pursued by soldiers and haunted by the witch-woman's sinister magic, they ride for their lives through hostile lands. To survive they must learn to trust each other, strip away the layers of deception that surround Skir, and challenge the tyranny of the witch-woman. But what will happen if all truths are revealed? And will the power of the priest-king be enough to bring peace to the Threelands? This thrilling adventure set within a storm of secrecy takes place within the world of the Chanters of Tremaris series. Picking up 20 years after the last book in the trilogy, in a different country, fans of the series will love it, as well as newcomers looking for strong girls and believable worlds in the style of Tamora Pierce.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Amazing!, Mar 22 2011

By BOOKFreak! - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Taste of Lightning (Paperback)

OK First you need to know that this book follows the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy by Kate Constable.This book can stand on it's own but why wouldn't you want to read the series before I loved the series so much I had to buy this. It follows on of the characters from the trilogy and I really liked going back to one of my favorite lands! The story was great!
