9/10
While the self-doubt and whining of Nylan is tiresome, this is a solid installment in the Recluce series. We learn more of the early history of Westwind and the Black and White Orders. And we learn, as do the characters, there is a price to power and cost to change.

This book veered into more familiar Recluce territory. I enjoyed the portrayals of Nylan and Ayrlyn, but overall this feel into Modesitt's usual pacing and plotting and felt more predictable than the last book. Also, I feel the final conflict was wrapped up just a bit too swiftly and the ending was rather abrupt.
