Just as the Chosen Five have defeated their betrayers and held onto their rightful throne, their struggle grows more desperate, and the stakes higher. But nothing can stop them when united behind the great power of Destiny.
I loved it! Sharon Green is an excellent story writer; her ideas are fresh, her characters are life-like and believable and the plot was deeply intriquing. Her descriptions go beyond being just "good"; she dives into emotions and appearences with a beautiful grace and ability. The only complaint I have is that the series ended. I wish there was more!
left me hanging--no, swinging precariously--from a cliff

This book had me in its grasp the entire night after I bought it. I seriously _could not sleep_ until I found out what happened. I stayed up until about 5. What happened with Vallant and Tamrissa was almost satisfying (I say almost because they've been feuding or pussy-footing since Book I and I got sick of it), and yes, Naran and Rion are overly sweet together, but Rion is still my favorite. It just amazes me how a pompous jerk can change into a caring, sympathetic, sensitive person. A little too perfect, but if that could really happen...it gives one hope. At the end of the book, since it was Book V, I thought oh good, Sharon Green'll wrap it all up now--but yet again, I find that there will be another series...sigh (but a good sigh--more books!). The demise of the baddies was darn cool, and I just barely pitied them (except Delin. He was pure evil).
all i can say is, "wow!"

This latest installment of Ms. Green's series is beyond awesome!! I literally had to leave work early so i could finish it. The teaser about the new series has me psyched to find out what will happen to our heroes. This book, and its companions, have a permanent place on my bookshelf. I can't wait for the next book!
This series rocks!!!!!

This is one of the best series i have every read! The relationships etween the characters, the different uses of magic, the down to earth characterization all lead up to a masterpeice of literature.
