Alissa is the only student living in the Hold, learning a millennium’s worth of magic from the last surviving Master. Even shape-shifting to her dragon-like raku form is becoming second nature. But when a spell goes awry, Alissa is transported back four centuries to an era when the Hold and its city thrive with magic students and their tutors.
Separated from the man she loves by four hundred years, Alissa’s distress and confusion are causing her to lose control of her shape-shifting. If she can’t return to her own time, Alissa will be permanently transformed into her bestial form with no memory of her human life—or her love.

"A rather quick read, it does a good job of tying up some loose ends (makes me want to go back and read the first two books to see if I missed some good foreshadowing!) and introduces the final book in the series. Dawn Cook does an appreciable job creating characters with all-too-human flaws & turns it into some masterful character development!"
— Latharia (4 out of 5 stars)
“Everything I need in a good read.”
— Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author“Cook’s solid third novel about Alissa (after First Truth and Hidden Truth, both 2002) stands very well alone, showing as it does how many characters who exist in both times have grown and changed—or haven’t.”
— Booklist" I loved the way this books connects and explains lots of little things from the first two. Very clever. "

— Amanda, 2/5/2014" Great series, very creative. Might be considered a young adults book, but it was very good. Loved the characters and the mystical setting. "
— Hbr, 1/23/2014" An interesting plot - time travel always brings up sticky issues, but it was handled well, and still enjoyable to read. She should totally go for Strell, though. "

— Tammy, 11/13/2013" Though I already love this series, this book was a delightful surprise. The plot is intricately-woven, intriguing, and full of laugh-out-loud funny moments. This is easily Dawn Cook/Kim Harrison's best. "
— Tracy, 10/13/2013" One of my favorite fantasy "
— Reuben, 10/9/2013" I really liked this one. I think its one of my favorite books out of the series. She adds a little more science fiction into this one but remains true to the flavor of the series. Highly recommended to read. "
— Michael, 9/15/2013" I wish there were 100 books in this series! It is SO hard to find a good epic fantasy, this series hits all the right points and then some!! I can't wait to read the next! On to the next... "

— Espresso, 11/30/2012" Oh, wow... I can hardly wait to get my hands on the last book... I want to know how it all ends! "

— Isabella, 2/27/2011" 4.5 Stars <br/> <br/>I'm really enjoying this series. Forgotten Truth involves time travel and finally gives me a reason to like Lodesh or at least feel compassion towards him. It sets up a love triangle for the 4th book. I'm intested to see where this story goes. <br/> <br/>Content: Clean <br/> "

— ^_^, 9/1/2010" One of my favorite fantasy "
— Reuben, 8/31/2010" Que dire, sinon qu'il est dans la veine des deux premiers... Aussi bon, même si la fin me fait quelque peu douter sur la trame du dernier tome à sortir...<br/>A voir le 10 Septembre, donc !!<br/> "
— ROSE, 8/14/2010" Though I already love this series, this book was a delightful surprise. The plot is intricately-woven, intriguing, and full of laugh-out-loud funny moments. This is easily Dawn Cook/Kim Harrison's best. "
— Tracy, 6/24/2010" An interesting plot - time travel always brings up sticky issues, but it was handled well, and still enjoyable to read. She should totally go for Strell, though. "
— Tara, 6/4/2010" Yep, she still bugs me. And yep, I still don't understand why any of the other characters have such an attachment to her. The story is still entertaining enough, but I'm kind of hurrying through these now to get to the end. "
