First in the Tamir Trilogy fantasy series. Wow! What a gripping story! Young Tobin is a Prince of Skalar, a haunted and strange prince. Kept isolated by his father at their country keep, Tobin and their household are haunted by a demon, who is actually Tobin's twin who died at birth. His mother has been mad and unhinged since the night of his birth and his father often absent away fighting one war or another for his brother-in-law the King, so Tobin's only friends are the household servants and Nari, his nurse. Those people closest to Tobin know a secret about him but cannot reveal it. A strange and somewhat gruesome tale at times, the whole storyline fascinated me and the author's writing style made the book VERY difficult to put down. It certainly read much quicker than its 500+ pages would have you think. An A-plus effort!
