At the same time, the Hulorn [supreme ruler of the City] has hired an assassin to kill of his opposition. Mundane or magical, the Hulorn doesn't care. And because of that, show more Thamalon, his lady and Erevis Cale are all transported to a magical land that is ruled by an apparently Powerful and Cruel Tamlin. All threads come together in the end as this series about the Uskevren family comes to a close as well. My Thoughts: The series ends and we get to see the end of one Generation of the Uskevrens and the beginnings of another. I really, really wish I had finished this series before starting the Erevis Cale trilogies, it would have filled in a lot of blanks. Basically, Thamalon dies, Tamlin takes over and the city of Sembia goes on as before. This was a good adventure story with lots of fighting, magic and mystery. A good end to Erevis Cale and his connections to the Uskevrens. It also ends the rise of the House of Uskevren and begins its plateau. This series overall is a good intro to Erevis Cale in the first 2 books and the next 5 fill in information that is relevant to Cale in the two trilogies. Pretty good 7 book series in the Forgotten Realms world. " show less
