Publisher Description

National bestselling author Anne Bishop’s novels have been hailed as “genuine gems” (SF Site) and “lavishly sensual” (Library Journal). In her highly anticipated second book in the Tir Alainn Trilogy, she weaves a dazzling tale of romance, high adventure, and thrilling fantasy.  Ever since the slaughter of the witches, the Fae—who should be shielding their long-lost cousins from danger—have ignored the needs of the rest of the world. And shadows are again gathering in the eastern villages—dark, potent shadows that threaten the lives of every witch, woman, and Fae. Only three Fae can stand against the growing madness and help prevent more bloodshed—the Bard, the Muse, and the Gatherer of Souls.   Aiden, the Bard, knows how desperately the world depends upon the Fae’s protection. But the Fae refuse to heed his warnings about the wickedness lurking amid the trees. Now Aiden and his one true love—Lyrra, the Muse—must embark on a perilous journey to find the one Fae who can convince the rest to leave their secure perches to save the witches and mortals. Because if the Fae don’t act soon, no one will survive…

"This book has a lot of darkness in it left over from the first book, but as always with Anne Bishop she balances the darkness that she has no fear of writing about with the good things humanity (and fae) are capable of: kindness, love, bravery, joy. It's a wonderful book, it won't knock your socks off like The Black Jewels, but it definitely gives you a wonderful sense of fulfillment, and I actually didn't mind some of the more sappy lovey dovey things because they helped bring light to the shadows in the story. ^_^"

    " I totally fell in love with this series. This book didn't suffer too much from middle book syndrome, though there wasn't that much of a big conflict, or too much face time with the main baddie. There was a lot of getting to know the wide range of heroes and heroines, though, and I liked that. "

    " This is the second book, a little more dry than the previous. But then again, I often find that the second book in the trilogy is hard to keep me entertained. Learn more about secondary characters, which I appreciated. Nothing spectacular however. "
