Illya, a nobody in the king's army, he comes to the notice of Prince Ashe, Aldania's heir. Caught in a generations-long war, imprisoned by a mad king, the two discover a deadly history and a ghostly truth beneath. War and betrayal test their new bond to the limit.

I followed the writing of this online and later purchased the book in physical form. Only the digital format left to buy (which I did now), to always carry with me. Worth every penny I ever spent on it.

I read this one after reading Bloodraven so I had high expectations and I wasn't let down in the slightest! I was captured immediatly and I loved it just as much as I loved Bloodraven.
I have to say; Future readers, beware, once you've started you can't leave until you've finished reading!

I agree with everything Sue said in her excellent review... particularly about the paranormal aspects of the book; it's not a typical "in-your-face" ghost story. Although I found Illya's personality to be a little trying at times, as Sue said, the characters learn and grow throughout the story and my initial hesitations soon cleared up. I very much enjoyed this book and my biggest complaint is that there isn't a sequel!

This book is long - nearly 270,000 words long, but it never drags or seems long-winded. At $7.50 it's a bargain, especially for a book of this quality.
Following Illya and Ashe across a believable, well-described fantasy world through battles, captivity, escape and back to Ashe's home is augmented by Illya's strange but enticing personality. The paranormal edge to the book is very well done. It's exciting, spooky, but never over the top.
Initially I loved Illya - hard to imagine you could not - and thought little of Ashe, but as the novel develops so does he, and at the end I was rooting for both of them.
The only whinge I have is that PL Nunn needs to appreciate the difference between the noun 'breath' and the verb 'breathe', a common error that should have been picked up in editing. Editing seems to be a missing element in many e-books, and this is minor compared to some I've read, so it doesn't detract from the 5-star rating.
I will be looking out for more by this writer, am about to do it right now.
