Even as things look darker for the Ildiran Empire and all of humanity, there is hope. Roamer Jess Tamblyn has joined with the mysterious wentals, sentient water beings who promise to join the fight against the hydrogues. A Roamer genius hits on a way to destroy hydrogue warglobes. The Theron worldforest reveals amazing secrets. And the Hansa King and Queen have a secret of their own.

Even as hope blossoms, Ildiran Mage-Imperator Jora’h must face crucial decisions. Disaster strikes from all directions. Ancient enemies will require sacrifices greater than he can imagine, and his insane brother is trying to wrest control of all Ildirans into a separate, deadly thism. One of the Seven Suns is dying, and Ildirans have killed Ildirans for the first time in thousands of years.

Swirling plots and amazing characters continue to develop in this installment of The Saga of Seven Suns. Fans may find the action slows a few times in this novel, but it picks up almost immediately.

The writing quality remains well suited to the genre. Anderson’s easy-going style is like a favorite pair of shoes waiting to snug you up and take you for a ride.
