The Whisper of Dreams
Hundreds are dead at the hands of The Four. Three months after the events of Leithar Grove, Tamir is a kingdom in fear. The people no longer trust Prince Remelas; his military ambitions are now public knowledge. So the Sons of Tamir, a nationalistic faction created within this atmosphere of betrayal, march on the capital to seek Remelas' abdication. And still the rumours persist of a young girl who walked away, unharmed, from Leithar Grove that night. Crazed seers and prophets continue to preach of the Queen of the World. Sarene, accompanied by the huge woodsman Kanderil, journeys ever onwards in hope of finding shelter from the coming winter. Having left her family behind, she finds herself growing isolated from an increasingly perilous world. Sarene refuses to believe what these nameless strangers say about her. Yet she must come face to face with the truth of what she is. What she represents. And that truth will come at the highest cost.

A great continuation of Queen of the World, with new characters that grew on me & a great explanation for what’s going on! Another exciting adventure—and Spasmodic is so much fun!

Another hit.
Ben Hennessey's follow up to Queen of the World was another well written piece of fantasy literature. Expounding on the story offered up in the first instillation of the series, all the wonderful characters are back (along with a few new characters to boot). While many of the questions have been answered, a whole new set of questions have arrived leaving me in anticipation of the next book.
