Synopsis: You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.

Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man.

Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin.

Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.

Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world―the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants.

And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.

Review: I really liked this book much more than the first book. The book is much more straightforward and easy to follow along. The book’s pacing is still amazing and the plot, again, kept me hooked from beginning to end. The character development and world building are also marvelous in this book.

The only real downside of this book is that the two characters that the book really focuses on are characters that aren’t that well developed in the first book and that the first book doesn’t really make you want to know more about them. However, that changes with this book.

Verdict: The story continues!
