Product Description

Product Description

The conflict on Blue Isle is rapidly reaching a head when one unexpected event suddenly gives the Islanders a fighting chance. Adrian's son Luke, chafing under Fey rule, leads a group of his fellow farmers in a secret strike against a Fey outpost. They are seeking only to unbalance their conquerors, to prove that the Fey are not as vigilant as they believe, but in destroying the outpost, Luke and his fellows inadvertently destroy a stronghold of Fey magick, setting off a wave of power that cripples anyone possessing magickal powers.

Meanwhile, in the town of Constant, Matthias is learning more about his mysterious powers and the truth behind a religion he had all but abandoned. While in the Place of Power, high in the Cliffs of Blood, King Nicholas has begun exploring the stored artifacts of the Blue Island religion, many of which may prove as deadly to the Fey as the once-feared holy water.

And as for Rugad, furious at Luke's attack and feeling his control over his people and his slipping, he knows the time to strike is now-lest he lose the opportunity altogether. Already, the Fey have lost their first battle to the Islanders in the Cliffs of Blood. And Rugad does not intend that it should happen again.

Now, as Rugad's forces march in force against the town of Constant, the fate of all the Blue Isle may rest on the most unlikely alliance of all. For if King Nicholas cannot join together with the man who once killed his wife, all of Blue Isle may pay the price.


Ingram

The conflict on Blue Isle reaches a violent peak in "Victory", as the islanders revolt against the Fey army. Still thirsty for revenge, the islanders sap Fey magic. And King Nicholas discovers another weapon: religious artifacts that could harm the Fey army as much as the dreaded holy water. When the Fey army stands against the Blue Islanders, victory depends upon a most unlikely alliance. King Nicholas must join together with the man who killed his wife--or all of Blue Isle will suffer.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this series!, Aug 30 1999
By A Customer
These books just get better and better. The fourth and fifth books are especially good. The story is fascinating: I love the discovering of the true nature of Blue Isle's religion. The characters are not perfect people, which makes them all the more intriguing; Coulter is definitely my favourite character! Altogether: WONDERFUL!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good series ends not with a bang, but with a whimper., May 10 1999
By A Customer
After avidly following this series (and I'm not one of those fantasy readers who commits to reading umpteen books set in the same world), I was disappointed in this ending. The joining of Nicholas and Matthias to defeat the Black King brought the legend of the Roca full circle, and to some extent resolved their differences. (And gave the ruthless Rugad a fitting ending.) But the events following that climax were depicted incredibly weakly. How did Jewel get the Fey to accept a "half-breed" as queen, considering that the Black King had left other heirs? (Perhaps that dilemma will be dealt with in more depth in the next series.) How did Nicholas, Arianna and the others get back to Jahn without encountering Fey armies? Were the fierce Fey truly that demoralized by the King's death? I also wasn't satisfied with the somewhat pointless wandering of Luke and Con, or with the "resurrection" of Sebastian. Nevertheless, I will definitely be reading the Black Throne series. Knowing Arianna, Gift, and Coulter are worth any minor flaws in the book's content.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, April 19 1999
By A Customer
I believe this to be one of the greatest books ever written. Even tough it is a bit grusome at times, you can't stop reading. I read a lot of fantasy, and I think this is almost as good as Tolkien. I think that it will be a clasic one day. I has such a wonderful plot with many twists and turns. The entiar seiries is excelent. I loved it, and will read it agai, and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fitting end to an amazing series.
With "Victory", K. Rusch ends the remarkable "Fey" series. Her characters are fully realized and the plot intricate. Read more
