When Ryshad, a sworn man, is instructed to assist a wizard in his fight against the strange magic of the Elietimm, it seems the perfect opportunity to seek revenge for the death of his friend. And the chance to renew his acquaintance with Livak - gambler, thief and former lover. But Ryshad will have to overcome far more than his personal grief, for the Elietimm's threat to the Empire is increasing at an alarming rate. He will journey to far-off lands and encounter treachery and foul sorcery.

I like this story & I really want to know what happens, but I don't like the writing style as it gets too bogged down in unnecessary detail. The heroine, Livak, & hero, Ryshad, are a pair of whingers & I'm getting sick of them. I'll forge on with the next book & hope that there's not so much whining.

Spotted on Dancesports wishlist. Surprise!

I certainly was surprised. Thank you
