Publisher Description
The spellbinding conclusion to the Darkangel Trilogy!
Armed with a magical pearl imbued with all the sorcery and wisdom of the world, bestowed upon her by the Ancient known as Ravenna, Aeriel finally comes face-to-face with the White Witch and her vampire sons. Backed by her husband, his army of good, and a throng of magical steeds, she must unlock the power of the pearl to awaken her true destiny and save the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers who crave solemn tales peopled with strange beings will find much to relish in this final volume of the Darkangel trilogy. Deprived of both her memory and the power of speech, Aeriel awakens to find herself in a cave somewhere below the earth's surface. In the company of three underground-dwelling duarroughs--natives--Aeriel journeys to the city of Crystalglass. There she meets Ravenna, the last of the race of ancient beings who created the world. Ravenna restores Aeriel's memory and reveals to her the nature of the role she must play in the final battle against the cruel White Witch. Though good does finally triumph over evil, this novel's conclusion is not a typical ``happy ending'': Aeriel is reunited only briefly with her estranged husband before she must leave to begin the lonely task of healing her planet. Pierce's thoughtful characterization and well-constructed plot lead to a poignant and believable conclusion. The meticulous, creative use of language gives form and substance to a fascinating mythic world. Ages 12-up.
Customer Reviews
Love it!!
Love this book... now if they would just make eBooks of the first two i'd be happy....
Fairy tale vibe in an original story
If you've ever wanted a story where the journey has been laid out and destined, filled with great characters and intriguing, intent-based magic and some insanely clever world-building, all with hints of sci-fi, this book will give you all those things. Anything but a happy ending rather than a bittersweet one. Totally worth it.
Amazing!!!
This is a really magnificent series! Of course, you have to read the first two books but they will be a joy to read, even if there not on iBook! This story is a hundred times better than twilight and the characters have lots of depth. The story is really original and a nice break from most young adult books!
You can probably find the first two books at your local book store.
