Book Description: Trapped in a world where wizards rule, the Blackwood brothers from New Orleans have become entangled in events that threaten to upend the Realm.
Oldest brother Val, sentenced to die in wizard prison, is forced to undertake a quest for the Congregation to try to win his freedom—but which might cost him his soul.
Reunited with an old companion, Caleb must overcome his personal demons as he braves the dangers of the Barrier Coast to warn his ancestors of the coming invasion.
And in a distant unexplored jungle, Will must find his warrior spirit as he and Mala lead a party of adventurers in search of the Coffer of Devla, a fabled artifact thought to reside in the lost pyramid of Yiknoom Ukab K’ahk, the most powerful sorcerer king who has ever lived. Used to annihilate the enemies of its possessor, the coffer might be the only hope for the struggling revolution.
Yet even if Will’s expedition is a success, prophecy holds that the coffer can only be used by a cleric of Devla.
And no true cleric has walked the Realm for centuries . . .
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Another great book in The Blackwood Saga series. I was excited for the chance to continue reading this story, It has kept me entertained now for 3 books and I can’t wait to read the rest to see what happens!
The story takes off right where the second one left off and you are immersed right away in finding out what is going to happen with the 3 Blackwood brothers. In this installment we see them each take off on their own quests and how it is all leading up to trying to get them all back together. I thought that the story did a good job of not making it confusing with the different quests going on at once, you knew what was happening to who and when and how it went in time with the other brothers.
The characters were still well written and they continue to grow and the supporting characters are continuing to grow as well. They all play off each other well. There is humor, suspense, some romance, and some great twists in this story. Especially one at the end that is totally a cliffhanger in my opinion because you won’t know how this is going to effect the rest of the series. I can’t wait to find out!
The writing is well done and the story flows nicely. I like that is progresses quickly and you don’t have to wait a long time with fluff that doesn’t need to be in the story. It keeps you entertained throughout it and it made me not want to put it down because I wanted to know what was going to happen to them.
I definitely recommend this and can’t wait to read the next.
Book Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
