The Loremasters of Elundium saga continues in this book, which is a sequal. of Citadal of Shadows, which in turn is the sequal to Knights of Cawdor, which is a sequal to the original series.
Having loved the original I was very much disappointed in this book. In Threads of Magic, Drib trains to become a wizard under the watchful eye of Nevian. Other than that not a whole lot else happens, as the book is devoid of the major characters of the original (except Nevian).
The series is concluded in the next nove, The Siege to Candlebane Hall. Altough I was disappointed with this work, I'm still a big fan of the series.
