Praise for The Isavalta Trilgoy:
Zettel’s first fantasy novel is a triumph of story-telling…All the characters are powerfully drawn, especially Bridget, a strong and attractive heroine…A Sorcerer’s Treason is a magnificent fantasy novel, showcasing just how good this genre can be. Rich, compelling and exciting, this could be the best fantasy debut in years’ Amazon
‘A fresh and surprisingly exciting fantasy thriller…Zettel’s engaging writing style conjures up a gripping plot and some effective, three-dimensional characterisation. Even the magic system is well-thought out and inventive…this engaging and vivid slice of escapist fantasy will keep fans of Robin Hobb more than happy’ SFX
‘Sarah Zettel’s well-told and absorbing tale is full of original touches’ Starburst
‘A sumptuous tale of subtle magic, malevolent sorcery and twisted loyalties – you won’t regret venturing into Sarah Zettel’s world’ Sara Douglass
Product Description
Infused with folklore magic and history, The Firebird’s Vengeance is the stunning conclusion to the Isavalta trilogy.
You will pay for this, screamed the Firebird. Life and blood and realm I will have from you.
Thirty years ago the Empress of Isavalta imprisoned the terrible Firebird in a cage wrought with gold, magic and blood. She succeeded in saving her realm, but at a harsh price: the life of her loyal sorcerer, Avanasy.
Now, with the Empress’s death, the Firebird has been freed, and its desire for revenge is unquenchable. Avanasy's daughter, Bridget, is warned by the Vixen, a great spirit-power, of the Firebird’s coming attack. But the Vixen also brings other, equally disturbing news: that Anna, the daughter Bridget buried as an infant nine years ago, is in fact still alive.
Bridget is torn between her duty to defend her adopted homeland and her desperate longing to find her child. But she is not the only one with an interest in the girl. Bridget is the daughter of two sorcerers, as is Anna herself. Such a child is likely to be possessed of extraordinary powers. Powers that might be harnessed to save an empire – or to destroy one.

It really is a shame, because this could have been a good series if two things had happened. Number one, and probably the most important; the books should have been released in this order. Book 2, should have been the first in the series, to set the scene for the rest of what followed. Book 1, should have been second in the series, and Book three released as it was. The second thing that would have improved this series would have been a more conclusive and better thought out ending. It left so many questions unanswered. I thought the characters were very well written, and that's perhaps one of the only saving graces for this series. AS I said, a real shame.

I think you should try this book, becausee it is very magical, beautiful and in a way, sad. You won't regret it.

Sadly not as gripping as the first in the series. Really a bit of a labour to get through it to the end!
