  <default_description>Time is running out. Nalenyr is besieged on all sides by those who would save the fabled land&amp;#8212;and those who would enslave it. Soon the realm will be ravaged by the scourge of magical warfare&amp;#8212;overrun by terrifying forces created by an ancient enemy, and soaked in the blood of champions and gods. It is the moment of final conflict, and the grandchildren of the Royal Cartographer are at the center of the climactic struggle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Keles Anturasi will race across the world, fleeing assassins, seeking control over powers he can barely understand. His brother, Jorim, having ascended to godhood, now finds himself pitted against an elder god&amp;#8212;the very god who once created the entire pantheon and now seeks its destruction. And their sister, Nirati, embarks on a treacherous crusade with a dead hero to wage war on hell itself!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As the final battle lines are drawn, they will gather the land&amp;#8217;s newly awakened defenders of the ancient past. But can this small band of champions, mystics, and magicians stand against an evil that threatens to sweep reality itself into an unending dark age of nightmare and oblivion?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I wish I had read the first two books before embarking upon this one ... there were so many characters to keep track of, and so many unique terms (and no glossary!), I found myself struggling to stay on top of things. Still, the storyline was good &amp; the trilogy well resolved.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was hard for me to get back into the series for some reason.  I guess the writing is kind of &quot;old&quot; style in the sense that a lot of the books that I read are now more up to date or more colloquial.

    <body><![CDATA[Consider this review as a review for the whole trilogy. Michael Stackpole is slowly growing to take a top spot in my pantheon of English language writers. His gift for an engaging story, with a near impecable balance of action and suspence is truly remarkable.

    <body><![CDATA[Stackpole presents a solid but unremarkable conclusion to his New World series. It's a fun and exciting read, and characters we've been introduced to in the previous books still have room to grow and expand. <br/><br/>Nirati's story arc ends somewhat disappointingly, as does the book. The ending, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7777255">more...</a>]]></body>
