  <description><![CDATA[On the world Ranadon there is no night as both suns shine brightly.  The intervention of Belagren, High Priestess of the Shadowdancers, and the sacrifice of a child of royal blood, has banished the Age of Shadows from the skies.  Belagren's position is unquestioned . . . until circumstances begin to tip political rivalries into a deadlier game altogether.  <br/><br/>A volcanic eruption rocks the seas separating the Kingdom of Dhevyn and the mainland Kingdom of Senet, and a mysterious sailor is shipwrecked on the island of Elcast.  Badly wounded, his arrival stirs up old hatreds and unravels old secrets.  His presence is enough to even bring Antonov, the powerful Lion of Senet, to the island and fear to the Keep of the Duke of Elcast.<br/><br/>A strong friendship develops between Dirk, second son of the Duke, and Kirshov Latanya, second son of the Lion of Senet.  But will they, and their friendship, survive the chain of events set in motion by the ambitions of the ruthless High Priestess of the Shadowdancers and the domineering Lion of Senet?<br/><br/>This first book of the Second Sons Trilogy establishes Jennifer Fallon as one of the most unique voices in fantasy fiction, as she creates full characters, and takes intelligent plotting to a whole new level in order to establish unparalleled complexity and tension.?]]></description>

But will they, and their friendship, survive the chain of events set in motion by the ambitions of the ruthless High Priestess of the Shadowdancers and the domineering Lion of Senet?<br/><br/>This first book of the Second Sons Trilogy establishes Jennifer Fallon as one of the most unique voices in fantasy fiction, as she creates full characters, and takes intelligent plotting to a whole new level in order to establish unparalleled complexity and tension.?]]>

    <![CDATA[On the world Ranadon there is no night as both suns shine brightly.  The intervention of Belagren, High Priestess of the Shadowdancers, and the sacrifice of a child of royal blood, has banished the Age of Shadows from the skies.  Belagren's position is unquestioned . . . until circumstances begin to tip political rivalries into a deadlier game altogether.  <br/><br/>A volcanic eruption rocks the seas separating the Kingdom of Dhevyn and the mainland Kingdom of Senet, and a mysterious sailor is shipwrecked on the island of Elcast.  Badly wounded, his arrival stirs up old hatreds and unravels old secrets.  His presence is enough to even bring Antonov, the powerful Lion of Senet, to the island and fear to the Keep of the Duke of Elcast.<br/><br/>A strong friendship develops between Dirk, second son of the Duke, and Kirshov Latanya, second son of the Lion of Senet.  But will they, and their friendship, survive the chain of events set in motion by the ambitions of the ruthless High Priestess of the Shadowdancers and the domineering Lion of Senet?<br/><br/>This first book of the Second Sons Trilogy establishes Jennifer Fallon as one of the most unique voices in fantasy fiction, as she creates full characters, and takes intelligent plotting to a whole new level in order to establish unparalleled complexity and tension.?]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I kept moving this series around, wanting to read, but not sure if I wanted to take the time to go through 3 books.  My mistake.  Thoroughly good series, I enjoyed the mental thoughts, twists and turns of the main character, and the whole manipulation of religion to get control.  ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[On the world Ranadon there is no night as both suns shine brightly.  The intervention of Belagren, High Priestess of the Shadowdancers, and the sacrifice of a child of royal blood, has banished the Age of Shadows from the skies.  Belagren's position is unquestioned . . . until circumstances begin to tip political rivalries into a deadlier game altogether.  <br/><br/>A volcanic eruption rocks the seas separating the Kingdom of Dhevyn and the mainland Kingdom of Senet, and a mysterious sailor is shipwrecked on the island of Elcast.  Badly wounded, his arrival stirs up old hatreds and unravels old secrets.  His presence is enough to even bring Antonov, the powerful Lion of Senet, to the island and fear to the Keep of the Duke of Elcast.<br/><br/>A strong friendship develops between Dirk, second son of the Duke, and Kirshov Latanya, second son of the Lion of Senet.  But will they, and their friendship, survive the chain of events set in motion by the ambitions of the ruthless High Priestess of the Shadowdancers and the domineering Lion of Senet?<br/><br/>This first book of the Second Sons Trilogy establishes Jennifer Fallon as one of the most unique voices in fantasy fiction, as she creates full characters, and takes intelligent plotting to a whole new level in order to establish unparalleled complexity and tension.?]]>
