Evil has come to a distant land high among the snow-capped mountains of Midkemia, as an exterminating army wearing the colors of the Duke of Olasko razes village after village, slaughtering men, women, and children without mercy. And when the carnage is done, only one survivor remains: a young boy named Kieli. A youth no longer, there is now but one road for him to travel: the path of vengeance. And he will not be alone. Under the tutelage of the rescuers who discovered him, Kieli will be molded into a sure and pitiless weapon. And he will accept the destiny that has been chosen for him ... as Talon of the Silver Hawk.
But the prey he so earnestly stalks is hunting him as well. And Talon must swear allegiance to a shadowy cause that already binds his mysterious benefactors -- or his mission, his honor, and his life will be lost forever.

Following on a few years after the Serpentwar Saga, this book follows a new member of the conclave of shadows as he tries to find his place in the scheme of things. An easy to read, fast paced book, I enjoyed reading this very much. Unfortunately nothing much really happens, and it cannot be read as standalone book. Be prepared to be sucked into reading the entire triology. (show less)

Was quite good, look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series. It was fast moving and gripping, however could have been better.
