Product Description

From Library Journal

The Falcons, a group of renegade practitioners of forbidden magics, possess the knowledge to rid their land of the tyrannical necromancers that have the ability to devour souls. If Ry Sabir and Kait Galweigh can destroy the artifact known as the Mirror of Souls, they can overcome the enemy of their landDbut if they do so, they leave themselves open to attack from a greater evil. Lisle's conclusion to her rousing fantasy epic that began with Diplomacy of Wolves and continued with Vengeance of Dragons brings her heroes face to face with difficult choices that mirror their own souls' deepest qualities. A good choice for most fantasy collections, particularly in libraries where the series has a following.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous ending!, Oct 23 2003

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book continued where the last left off. Danya and Luercas have convinced the Scarred that they are the long prophesied messiahs that would lead them to victory over the humans. The Scarred did not care that their new leader, Luercas, was evil or that Danya was out for personal revenge. They became an unstoppable army and declared war on all humans!

Kait and Ry were skinshifters. They, along with Ian, Dughall, and the Falcons, struggled against the immortal, soul-devouring necromancers known as the Dragons. Afterward, they must face the Scarred armies.

***** This one is the best of the three! The author carries the reader along with the characters through hopeless situations. I flew through the pages swiftly to see what would happen next. Marvelous ending! *****

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Talking with the Other-One Inside the Head, Sep 30 2002

By	Aung T Maw (College Park, MD United States) - See all my reviews

A good trilogy with very interesting mix of characters. However, characters talk too much to their (other)-selves, and that gets annoying after 500 pages. And, that (thing) happened to reborn is just plain stupid. Oh well... a good read non-the-less if you could withstand some disappointments in the storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful ending..., Sep 24 2002

By	Nancy C. Beck (Northwestern New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased the 1st book of this series and almost gave up (the whole idea of having to prick yourself to summon magic almost made me sick), but I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did.

Others have given a synopsis of this book, so I won't bother. But there's a point near the end of the book where Kait goes back to her family's mansion. She remembers the good times she had there as a child and it brought a lump to my throat. I've often done the same thing, remembering the parties and the times down the Jersey Shore with my family. After I got married and lot of my relatives died (including my father), those times went into my memory. I felt that Kait was mourning those sweet days as I have (and I probably always will).

I never thought another fantasy could make me cry like The Lord of the Rings did. I was wrong. Cheers to Holly Lisle for such a wonderful series!
