Description
"It's been two years since Auris escaped from the sinister Goblin prison and learned of her heritage as one of the Fae. She is now happily partnered with her Fae lover Harrow and deeply bonded with her new family. All seems to be going perfectly--until, somehow, the Goblin attacks begin again. Someone, it seems, has not forgotten that Auris exists and seems determined to retrieve her...but who? And why? As Auris begins to dig deeper in the mystery, old friends and new enemies appear, and Auris begins to realize that her still-shrouded past must contain the answers she needs. But even she does not suspect how far down the rabbit hole she is about to go until Harrow is taken and an impossible ransom demand is issued. Then, with two new companions at her side, Auris must attempt to unlock the remaining secrets of her past. For if she cannot, she will never see Harrow alive again"--Jacket flap.… (more)
User reviews
My only other main complaint is that, along with Child of Light, I had been expecting something far different and new from his previous works. I knew these were going to be fantasy, but I could still see most of this story taking place in Shannara without too much modification; the characters and places are different but the elements are mostly the same. From Terry's early descriptions, I thought maybe it would be from the perspective of people in the modern human world as the Fae become apparent to them within that modern world. But it's really similar to Elves and half-Elves fighting against another version of an evil Federation and various malevolent creatures of Fairy.
Anyways, it's still a good read and I'll be looking forward, as always, for Terry's next book.
