Product Description
But just when he is reconciled to his new life, he finds he must go off seeking the Chosen One's sword of legend—which he knows for a fact was lost in conquered Duncaer. So now Devlin—once exiled from his homeland and hoping never to go back—must again face the land of his birth and the people who once trusted him. Only now he comes to them wearing the garb of their conquerors.
But when Devlin returns from that mission, it is only to discover that things in Jorsk have been getting worse in his absence. The unknown enemy's magical attacks on the kingdom are getting worse, and the king's policy of non-involvement is throwing his kingdom into chaos. As more and more borders are threatened, the nobles can do nothing but squabble and debate. It seems that Devlin is the only one who can stem the tide. But can he discover the enemy's true identity and put a stop to his or her predations before the entire kindgom collapses, taking its Chosen One down with it??

I've recently come across one that is far better than this one. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.
Overall then I would say that the trilogy is good, but no one book stands on its own. The series is worth reading, but I can't help feeling that it could have been a lot better.
In Devlin's Justice, Devlin is returning from Duncaer with the Sword of Light. He is betrayed and captured. During this time Jorsk is "invaded" and Devlin begins a rebellion and defeats the conquerors.
The ending was very satisfying and Devlin, Stephen, and others are changed by the war, and other events of the past two books. Author Patricia Bray ties all this together nicely. Devlin's Justice was definitely not an afterthought. I am looking forward to Ms. Bray's future work.
Devlin's Justice exceeded my expectations. It's darker that the first two books, as Devlin finally comes face to face with the unseen enemy who has been stalking him. He manages to defeat the prince, but that's only the first of the many challenges that he'll face. Ultimately Devlin will have to decide where his loyalties lie, and each of his friends will also have to choose between their sworn oaths and their friendship with the Chosen One.
Bray does a nice job of pulling all the threads from the first two books together as she builds to the ultimate climax, and Devlin's final showdown with those who betrayed him. All in all, it's a great read and a fitting successor to the first two books in this series.
Highly recommended.
mind-sorcerer who almost destroyed him in book 2 of this series. Olafur
thinks this will seal the alliance with Selvart that he has sought to secure
his borders and that Devlin's life and loyalty is a small price to pay.
However, Devlin himself has other ideas on the matter.
In some ways this book is an anti-climax. Much of the story is not told
from Devlin's point of view and as the land of Jorsk descends in to all out
war we are told a grim tale with almost no lighter moments to break it up.
In the end Devlin makes the best compromise possible out of a bad situation,
but at the same time many of Devlin's key emotional growth points never
really seem to be explained in a way that makes you feel more for him as a
character.
For the last book in a series in many ways this book seems to be a pause
rather than a stopping point for Devlin's story, and it would have been nice
to at least have seen him gain some happiness from all his sacrifice,
instead we are almost left hanging as much could still happen to him given
the state the Kingdom is in at the end of this book. The series almost
deserves a 4th book if it can lighten up a little.
