This was much more brutal and disturbing than other titles in this series. The mage used nasty creatures to fight his battles and they were viscous - dismembering and tearing huge chunks of flesh from the hero and heroine. The H/H spent lots of time in the ground healing in between bouts of fighting.

I liked both Ivory and Razvan, who were at different times and places both tortured beyond all endurance by the mage, Xavier. I think the saddest thing about the book was the betrayal of Ivory by her brothers seconded by the mental abuse Razvan endured for centuries at the hands of Xavier. This is a sad tale, told in brutal terms but a well written story that grabs your heart right from the first chapter and just doesn't let go. Another fine installment in this ever darkening series.
