Publication Date: 3 April 2007 | Series: Chronicles of Hawklan
Book Three of the Chronicles of Hawklan. Fyorlund has fallen. The City of Vakloss has felt the terrifying Power that lies behind the evil Lord Dan-Tor and King Rgoric lies dead, murdered by Dan-Tor who is now master of Fyorlund and ready to unleash the Dark Lord Sumeral's dread power over all the lands. Yet Dan-Tor has been grievously wounded by Hawklan's arrow, and, against impossible odds, not all hope has been swallowed by the Darkness. Sylvriss, Rgoric's Queen, has escaped the blighted City to rally the Lords in Exile. In peaceful Orthlund the arts of war are painfully relearned. In the East, ancient foes of Sumeral are at last remembering their vows. All look to the healer Hawklan for leadership. But he has lain in a coma since his confrontation with Dan-Tor, walking in a world from which none can call him back. And in the mountains an ancient race stirs, but its allegiance is as yet unknown...

This is the third book of the series, and in my view is even better than the first two.
Fine writing, enough action to keep one satisfied, and a fair bit of character development.
I have just finished re-reading all four books and a very satisfying read they make too. The fourth book is even better. Not many series stand the test of time so well.
The third book of the Chronicles of Hawklan, Hawklan is unconscious rescued from Islomann, big parts of Vakloss destroyed, Dan Tor hurt from an arrow from Hawklan. Hawklan, Islomann and queen Sylvriss fleeing to Lord Eldrics castle. From there queen Sylvriss departs to Riddin, Islomann and unconscious Hawklan depart to Orthlundyn. The Lords start to move with an army against Vakloss... To make it short, this book is in mayor part a preparation for the final Conclusion in the next book. The discription of this preparation is definitely to long. There are mayor critics. The queen Sylvriss is too pathetic developed in this book. Big parts of the story of the Cadvanwr and Andawyr should be placed in the second book because explanations for something happening in the first book is wrong placed in the third book. The conflict between Orthlundyn army and the Alphraan is told to maximal extension. Less would have been better. All this tires the reader and has door stopper tendency. In comparison to the first two books this is definitely a step back. Too talkative and far reaching.
