Will and Evanlyn are hiding in the Skandian mountains and instead of trying to evade their captors, they now face a new threat in the Temujai army. These warriors trained in battle and archery are at Skandia’s borders and Will, Evanlyn, Horace and Halt all become engaged in the war. All sorts of action, adventure and reunions take place.

The pace and intensity of this book was good and kept me reading. Lots of war violence.

Something I've grown to love about Flanagan's writing style is the emphasis and explaining techniques. It isn't just "he shot an arrow" it's a slow zoom moment of which muscles are used to draw back and adjusting how high he's aiming and all the little details that make the moment come to life. I'm sure by the end of the series, anybody will feel just a little more knowledgeable than the average person about war strategy and weaponry. I love the constant character development, and watching the characters interactions show how much they care for and respect each other. It's kind of sweet!
