Extended description

A tall beautiful blond woman in her middle solar cycles stood in her office at the top of a very tall building in the center of the University of Tali. Her big blue eyes had traces of smile lines around their outer corners from solar cycles of smiling and laughing. Her small pointed nose separated the incredible eyes from her perfectly shaped, full lipped mouth. Here too were the beginnings of smile lines, but she was not smiling now. Her face held the look of concern for the first time in many solar cycles as she stood contemplating her accomplishments and failures in building a new type of university. She had spent her entire adult life creating a place of truly open and accepting academia.

Review by: Saddie Red on June 15, 2012 :
This book reveals the history that brought about the other books. Teal is heroic in his battle to protect the realm within the limits set by two women who rule the realm. Many things became clear after reading how it all began.

Review by: Cam Casillas on June 07, 2012 :
Stepping back into the past to provide the foundation on which the other books were based, this third book gives some great insight into who Torl (RinTorl) is and how he came to be special. Spellbinding start to finish.

Review by: baja on June 07, 2012 :
I have no idea how this book got 5 stars by anyone's logic. I tried to get into it... I read a third of it and it's just drivel. I don't believe I've ever given such a bad review in my life but in this case I believe it's deserved. To all those who reviewed it before me, I have one question; are you all friends of the author? At $2.99 I haven't lost much but to delete a book I actually paid for is a first for me. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because the font and text size were good.

Review by: Jim Allen on May 10, 2012 :
Incredible heroics and heartbreaking tragedy. A story that is both sad and hopeful. Rich characters come to life and demonstrate more than just their talents, their character and morals are on display for all to see. Faithful to their beliefs even when it meant the end of their way of life. Oh that we could be so brave and steadfast.

Awesome, action packed tale of the lives of Torl & Lia's parents, and the great Trali. It really brings the series together providing answers to many of the questions that the first two books cause you to ask.
