For decades, the magical race of shapeshifters called the Cheysuli have been feared and hated exiles in their own land, a land they rightfully should rule. Victims of a vengeful monarch's war of annihilation and a usurper king's tyrannical reign, the Cheysuli clans have nearly vanished from the world. Now in the aftermath of the revolution which overthrew the hated tyrant, Prince Donal is being trained as the first Cheysuli in generations to assume the throne. But will he be able to overcome the prejudice of a populace afraid of his special magic and succeed in uniting the realm in its life and death battle against enemy armies and evil magicians?

I really liked this book. I found it to be far superior to either of the first two. I was saddened that we lost so many of the major players of the first two books - all of them, really, except for Rowan. Duncan, who we thought was dead, reappears and then quickly dies. Alix dies trying to save Duncan. Carillon kills Electra and Tynstar before being killed by Osric of Atvia. And Finn... Finn who I thought was going to end up being the one constant in the series ends up getting killed by Strahan, Electra and Tynstar's son. So I was saddened to see the loss of so many strong characters - but still very pleased with the plot and how things are progressing with Donal and the second generation.
I'm very much looking forward to the next installment. I just wonder who the focus will be on this time... ( )
