Publisher Description
“One of the great modern fantasy writers”* returns with this enthralling follow-up to Shaman’s Crossing—the second volume in her epic, international bestselling Soldier Son Trilogy.
*The Times
The second son of a second son, Nevare Burvelle was destined from birth to carry a sword, until a military assignment to the frontier post of Old Thares changed everything. There the wealthy young cadet came into contact with the Specks, a quiet, forest-dwelling folk gifted with magic and cursed with a terrible plague—both to which he succumbed.
Now nearly healed, Nevare has returned home, determined to bury the past. But his happy reunion turns dark when plague infects the Burvelles, setting off a chain of events that will lead Nevare into a strange and mysterious realm where danger, betrayal, and the beguiling Specks await.

Incredible character development
Hobbs creates a universe and characters that are complex and spellbinding. I am so excited to read the next book in this trilogy. I couldn’t put this down, and felt so much the authenticity of the main character.
Never Misses
I’ve enjoyed 40+ years of being a fan since reading Wizard of the Pigeons as a preteen. She is a master of her craft, with an amazing talent for finding a triumphant silver lining out of the ugliest parts of humanity. Her characters renew my faith in myself and all of us, while reminding me that life rarely yields victories without great, and sometimes, terrible sacrifices. This book is the valley of the trilogy that is mostly heart wrenching, buttressed by uplifting beats that propel you ever onward. Reading her works has always been time well spent; this book is another jewel for my collection.
