Description
Young Dion Starfire is the ruler of a galaxy that is finally at peace after years of strife and bloodshed. Yet the peace is an uneasy one. Dion has fallen desperately in love with a woman who is not his queen, and suddenly the fragile alliances that rest of his marriage are threatened. Then real violence erupts as an illegitimate son of the dead king, in hiding on a forgotten planet, plots Dion's overthrow. At his command is an army of unseen "ghosts"--alien presences that can show more roam the galaxy and kill at will. Dion must turn to an old mentor and enemy, Derek Sagan, as the one man who can help him battle the bastard prince and his dark minions. And at Derek's side hovers the powerful, shadowy presence of his lost love, Lady Maigrey. If Dion can only win their aid, he may have one last chance to preserve his throne--and peace for the galaxy. show lessTags

This is a good solid conclusion to the Star of the Guardians series. It wraps up dangling ends, allows characters to finish the journeys they began in the other books. I'm giving it a lower rating right now because it has been so many years since I read the first three that I had forgotten details. I plan to reread the entire series again, with the hope of adjusting this rating accordingly.

Tried to read the trilogy again. Gave up in the middle of the second book. Not worth it.

- But say I could repent, and could obtain, By act of grace, my former state; how soon Would height recall high thoughts, how soon unsay What feigned submission swore; ease would recant Vows made in pain, as violent and void - ... (show all)For never can true reconcilement grow Where wounds of deadly hatew have pierced so deep - Which would but lead me to a worse relapse And heavier fall ... John Milton, Paradise Lost
