Things look bad for Cadderly, Danica and the rest of their allies, as the forces of evil close in and make life very difficult. Cadderly continues to develop in his own unique way, gradually coming to terms with his new role. I'm a big fan of all of these characters, including the comic relief of the Bouldershoulder brothers. This book is full of action and conflict and a fun read.
A very good wrap up to the series....except its not a wrap up. There's one more book to go, and I'm honestly not sure where that last book will go.
Standard D&D fare, lots of hand to hand combat and angst.
Amazing book. Cadderly is awesome.
Don't remember much about this book - not very entertaining.
Tras sobrevivir a los Máscaras de la Noche y al maligno Ghearufu, Cadderly se pone al mando de las fuerzas combinadas de Caradoon y del bosque de Shilmista para atacar el Castillo de la Tríada, el reducto de su enemigo Aballister. En esta empresa, Cadderly descubrirá los límites de sus poderes y la responsabilidad que conlleva el liderazgo.
