Summary

‘Twas a time when dragons left their lair and evil shadowed the land....

On the Day of Reckoning, the witches of Eileanan were outlawed - and violations of the new order were punishable by death. Eileanan’s Great Towers, once meccas of magic and learning, were left in ruins. And now, the entire land trembles in fear.

Yet deep in the mountains, in the shadow of Dragonclaw, a young girl is being tutored in the old ways. Ignorant of her past, uncertain of her future, the foundling Isabeau will soon be forced down a dangerous path of prophecy, conspiracy, and magic. It is a world where dragons possess the key to ancient mysteries, where a lost prince will discover a strange and wondrous destiny, and where the ultimate battle between good and evil will be waged.

A new Day of Reckoning is at hand....

Wonderful and easy to escape into

It’s been a while since I found a book I enjoyed as much and this. A narrative with good rounded characters

One of the best…

As the first in a long series, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves High Fantasy and amazing world building and character development. Despite this being one of the smaller books in the series, everything you need to be set up for a rollicking adventure is here.
Kate Forsyth is a master storyteller and you won’t be disappointed. My only complaint was the reading was a bit slow (probably because I’ve read this a number of times) but 1.1 speed felt more comfortable for listening.

First book in a series

And because it is, don’t expect a resolution of any kind. This is just a scene setter. That’s alright as a concept but makes for a pretty unsatisfying read. I don’t know if I’ll read the next yet. I can’t be bothered to wait until book 6 to find out what happens to someone I’ve forgotten about because they haven’t appeared since book 4.
