After reading The Ember Blade several Years ago and then doing a reread of it earlier this year, I was looking forward to reading this book and finding out what happened next.

4 Stars!
A solid second book in the Dark Water Legacy trilogy.
Action packed with some interesting twists and now I’m eagerly awaiting the final book.

This was another astounding book by one of my favorite authors. I've enjoyed this series very much.

The story was exciting, sad, and uplifting and I cannot wait until for the next installment.
