About this ebook

The kings and queens of the northern continent lay siege to the Darkwater Forest, desperate to contain its evil. But rumors of gold and aurium have lured deserters and the desperate into its shadow, creating a growing army held in its sway. Desperate after the death and dissolution of their greatest ally, Willet and the Vigil seek the truth of what lies at the heart of the evil they face. They delve the mind of an old enemy and find an answer far worse than they could have imagined.

Danger stalks the cities of the north, striking at the rulers of the kingdoms. As Willet and the rest of the Vigil seek to find answers, the group is scattered with an ever-growing darkness around them. Will they discover a path to keep their land safe, or will an ancient evil reclaim the world it once called its own?

Ratings and reviews

I have enjoyed this whole series. The 1st & 2nd were on audiobooks and as I couldn't wait I had to get e-book. It was worth it. I can't say enough about the story line. It was different, complex, and I thought multilayered. The characters were flawed, heroic, humorous, and in mysterious. Story teller kept my interest throughout.

I've read both of his sagas, you'd be hard pressed to find a better series to read. You won't be disappointed at all. Loved it

Not as good as the Sword and the Staff but still really good
