The Seventh Tower Series' The Violet Keystone (Book 6), Jun 15 2004
Tal and Milla have gone their separate ways. Milla is leading a battle inside the Castle. And Tal is trapped in the Hall of Nightmares by his nemesis, the shadowmaster who has declared himself to be the Most Violet, Sushin. Fashnek has trapped Adras, Tal's Spiritshadow, in a shadow bottle, and now Tal must face his fears in the Hall of Nightmares. He attempts what only a few have accomplished, controlling the Sunstones in the globe to make them open. He sighs, and Fashnek begins the nightmare machine. Meanwhile, Milla continues the Icecarl invasion of the Castle with a young Crone, Malen, Tal's witty Uncle Ebbit, an Icecarl Wilder, Jarek, and a few more, including Crow and the Freelies. Together they will embark on a quest that none of them will ever, ever forget. I liked the part where Malen, Crow, Adras, Odris, and, of course, Tal, fight Sharrakor in Aenir, inside Old Khamsoul. The ending was a little sad, but the reader feels Tal's triumph. This entire series had its ups and downs, but I'd recommend the Seventh Tower Series to about anyone who would listen. It started out a little weaker than I had expected, but it finished better than many other stories that I have read. I hope you enjoy the series (or did enjoy it)!
