Branwen has been chosen by the Shining One's to free her people from the Saxon's that keep invading. When I got this book I didn't realize it was the middle of the series. It's the awkward volume where character development moves forward a little; relationships inch forward, but the real focus is on the action. It works as a stand alone tale, there is definitely a beginning middle and end but you know there is more of everything coming.

I might look into the rest of series. The characters were interesting and the action was fun.
The finale to The Warrior Princess series. I LOVED the series. Branwen and her followers are sent to rescue an ancient god, who has been imprisoned for many years. Her quest leads her to old friends, enemies and shocking betrayal. I thought that the series ended well, though it was a bit gory at times.

Is this one really the end? I think I want to know more. WHat happens next? This one was maybe my favorite the charachters have been growing and shifting into people who you might enjoy having in your family tree. Brave, compassionate and even if they aren't quite human, devoted and loyal. Friendship means something to these youths. GREAT NEWS! A teen patron told us there is another book! YEAH! Can't wait to read it!

A profound darkness had fallen among the close-packed oaks, and it felt to Branwen ap Griffith as though she and her small band of riders were wading through a flood tide of shadows, thick as black water.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Branwen turned away from the mountain; and with her friends and companions about her, and with Fain flying above her head, she rode down through the forests and out into the wild lands of Cyffin Tir.
