Windriders Saga
The Last Battlewizard
"The Last Battlewizard" is the third installment of B. A. Silverman's Windriders Saga, following "Winds Rising" and "Tamsen's Song".
Fourteen years have passed since Tamsen returned to Amaia. His dedication to the Royal Family and to Windriders has helped him rebound from the almost immobilizing grief of Linnet’s loss, rising to the positions of First Advisor to King Theon and Captain of the Windriders upon Ser Bors’ retirement. But however dedicated he has become to those dual rules, and however immersed in the affairs of the Kingdom, the wisps of sadness still raise their disturbing heads more often than he would wish.
But those wisps are soon to vanish forever when the oddly familiar and amazingly strong voice of a young girl requesting to be collected for her training resonates through the kingdom. The child’s gift is Mind Healing and once she arrives in Lenhold, there can be little doubt of her ancestry. She wears Linnet’s face.
She, Tamsen, the Princes and the Riders will play pivotal roles when the unimaginable occurs – Kagan has found a way back into the Kingdom.

About the author
B.A. Silverman
4 books3 followersB. A. Silverman doesn't do things by halves. Her fascination with fantasy, fueled by such stellar literary names as Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mercedez Lackey, soon led to a prolific outpouring of story ideas - many of which, she tells us, "thankfully never saw the light of day."
But soon, she says, "I began constructing whole worlds in my head. There was nothing to do but get them on paper." And into print, as she sold short fantasy to such magazines as Alfred Hitchcock and to the anthology "Prom Night", edited by Nancy Springer.
Two such forays into short fantasy ended up forming the basis for the intricacies of the varied geographies and civilizations that populate the landscape of her trilogy, "Windriders Saga".

It was good to see how Tamsen grows up. This is the third book of the series. So please to make sure you read the other two before reading this one. Be aware that this book takes place some years later than the last book. We get to see what happens to all the main characters. I love that. I also like how it comes in a full circle.
To say more would give some of the plot away. I will give one hint though. Tamsen's daughter lives.
