"The prince has...there has been an accident, a terrible accident. Crown Prince Lovell is dead, Princess." I found myself sitting on the floor with my skirts in a heap around me... The sea, I thought. I hear the sea. Lovell had promised me that before I went up to Dunmorra to be married in the autumn, he would steal me away for a day of freed...  more »

The murder of Eleanor's brother leaves her the sole heir to the crown of Eswy, a pawn in the struggle for power between different religious and political alliances. With her father a prisoner, Eleanor flees her mother's schemes to marry her off to her cousin and finds herself hunted through the wilderness, facing treachery on all sides. Maurey, the hero of Nightwalker, and his friend, the Fen witch and warrior Korby, are summoned back from a mission overseas to find and protect the princess. Once a scullion and a fugitive, Maurey is now a young man of considerable status and power, a Nightwalker warlock in charge of his human brother's intelligence network. The mysterious symbol of the Yehillon seems to point to a conspiracy against both Dunmorra and the hidden Nightwalker kingdom of Talverdin, a conspiracy into which Eleanor has stumbled. While the two human kingdoms of the island are threatened with tyranny and Talverdin itself with annihilation, Maurey and Eleanor struggle to unravel the plots that threaten the princess's life and the peace of the three kingdoms.

Maurey finds himself on a new adventure across the sea to a neighboring kingdom.

He is sought to protect the Princess Eleanor, whose brother has been murdered. The Princess is promised to Maurey's brother, King Dugald, and he would trust only Maurey with her protection. But it seems there is more wickedness afoot and both Maurey and Eleanor must work together to save both kingdoms.

The sequel to NIGHTWALKER may be even better than the first book! I was pleasantly surprised yet again! I do admit to being slightly confused at the beginning of this novel. I was unfamiliar with the characters that were telling the story, but it was soon cleared up and I think I may have enjoyed it more than I did with Maurey's point of view in the first novel.

Johansen continues to impress me with her gift of storytelling. Its likeness is parallel with the first book in its fast-paced plot, compelling characters, and abundance of action. THE WARLOCKS OF TALVERDIN is quickly becoming one of my favorite series.
