Elizabeth Moon returns to the world and time of The Deed of Paksenarrion - in fact, covering events immediately following the end of Oath of Gold. But the focus is different (though Paksenarrion is a recurring character), on Dorrin, a captain of Duke Kieri Phelan, who is a self-exiled member of the Verrakai family, deeply involved in the treacherous attack on the Duke foiled at the end of Oath of Gold. The soon-to-be king of Tsaia chooses Dorrin to be the new Duke Verrakai, as the only adult of the family unlikely to be tainted with treachery and evil. We follow three slowly intertwining stories: the Duke's adjustment to his new role as king of Lyonya; his company's adjustment to his departure, involving several characters familiar from Sheepherder's Daughter, one of whom, Arcolin, takes over the company; and Dorrin's return to her home and dealing with her family, using her awakening magical power. She uncovers great evil, but also a mysterious crown hidden away, that wants her to don it ... While it takes a little while to get into (the first chapters refer to the events at the end of Oath of Gold, from Paksennarrion's self-sacrifice to free the Duke onwards, but from different perspectives and not in overmuch detail), and the switching from story to story might be irritating to some, the content is as good as before, with as much action, mystery, and magic as could be hoped for. I do not think Elizabeth Moon has lost her touch, and look forward to more.

A fantastic read, I enjoyed the book thoroughly. The book led me on a long awaited line, and it really fleshed out an already fantastic story. I look forward to reading more, as the book left me very hungry for me.
The negative has to be if you haven't read the first trilogy you'll be rather confused with the story, and I would most definitely recommend reading them first.

I believe the author is going for a second trilogy based on the Paks trilogy. This first book of the new trilogy deals with three threads from the old series - Keiri Phelan, now king of Lyonya; Jandelir Arcolin, former senior captain of the Duke's Company and now effectively "owner" of that Company; and Dorrin Verrakai, former captain of one of the Duke's cohorts and now Duke Verrakai, despite the fact that SHE is a woman !!
This book sets the stage for an impending war in Lyonya, an ancient mystery for Duke Verrakai and the Court of Tsaia and an outlaw-riddled Southlands for Arcolin to deal with. However, the book ends rather abruptly with all three threads hanging; which is a rather unsubtle reminder that this is the first of a trilogy and there's more to come. It is definitely not a stand-alone book !!
