It began as a witch-hunt. But the Master Inquisitor's plans to eliminate all traces of female power in the world have expanded to crushing the Sylvalan barons who oppose him-and to destroying the wellspring of magic in the Mother's Hills.

"Best book out of the three. Everything that the second book was leading up to, works well here. However, random characters appeared that made it quite confusing for me to read. I had to go back to the second book to recheck to see if they existed there (sometimes they did...). However, same with most of Anne Bishop's other books, self sacrificing strong female character. Not much variety, however, it worked here, and the ending made sense. Which is always pleasant."

" Anne Bishop. Need I say more? "
— Madeleine, 2/2/2014" Wish there were more books in the series. You will get emotional over the some of the characters. "
— Elizabeth, 2/2/2014" A wonderful conclusion. This series just kept growing and becoming more entrancing. "
— Lindsey, 1/28/2014" The thing that will stick with me about this book is the end - it's heartbreaking. Probably the best 30ish pages of the series, actually. "
— Ashley, 1/15/2014" So good :D "
— Lizzy, 1/12/2014" The end of the trilogy wraps up loose ends and offers a kind of funny, if horrific (for the souls), version of the devil chasing souls around hell. "
— Tamara, 1/8/2014" Great book it keeps you wanting to read more. "
— Tina, 1/8/2014" can not wait to see if the hunter kicks the Faes butt for not stepping up and protecting the witches "
— Hilleary, 12/31/2013" Absolutely my favorite book of the series! I originally thought the books were about Ari but after concluding the series I feel that Morag has become the main character to me. Her sacrifices truly broke my heart and the more I read this series the more I like it. "
— Betsy, 12/20/2013" I will say it broke my heart to end this series. But...it was by far one of the best series of books I have ever read!!! "
— Debi, 10/1/2013" love the book. really interesting! "
— Priiyam, 12/16/2012" It was a decent ending to the series but it certainly didn't have me wishing for more of the characters like the Black Jewels Trilogy did. "
— Rhonda, 10/11/2012" What began as an uneasy agreement between the Fae and the witches is now tenuous at best. Not all of the Fae see the importance of their human counterparts. It is this oversight that might cause the witches to destroy the Fae along with the witch hunters. "
— Monica, 8/16/2012" Sad to see the story end. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I can't give it a 5 because of some minor errors and misteps but overall was very enjoyable. "
— Imabig, 7/7/2012" Last of the popcorn trilogy. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two, but it got me through dentist anxiety like good paperbackcrack should do. (September 15, 2004) "
— Cindy, 1/13/2012" This is book three of the Tir Alainn Trilogy, by Anne Bishop. This is an excellent series, who heros are most females, but with whom almost anyone can identify. Bishop is an outstanding author, and like McCaffrey, another of my favorites. Hightly recommend this book and the trilogy to anyone. "
— Max, 1/6/2012" Worth reading more than once "
— Isabel, 6/2/2011" I truly enjoyed this series. I laughed and in parts I wanted to cry, but all in all I would have to say it was a great adventure. "
— Nick, 4/27/2011" This series is not as good as the Black Jewels series. But it is worth reading. Again it took a little while to get into the story. "
— Angie, 1/30/2011" Good end to a sort of crappy trilogy. "
— Amanda, 10/22/2010" A wonderful conclusion. This series just kept growing and becoming more entrancing. "
— Lindsey, 2/26/2010" Absolutely my favorite book of the series! I originally thought the books were about Ari but after concluding the series I feel that Morag has become the main character to me. Her sacrifices truly broke my heart and the more I read this series the more I like it. "
— Betsy, 7/19/2009" Another wonderful ending to a exquite series. I wish I had half the talent Bishop does for writing. Wonderful charcters set in a beautifully described world. While this was a much more emotionaly ending, and did make me cry, I would have to say it is one of Bishop's best endings to a series. "
— Kimberly, 3/29/2009" Such a beautiful ending to a beautiful series of books. "
— Stacie, 2/8/2009" What began as an uneasy agreement between the Fae and the witches is now tenuous at best. Not all of the Fae see the importance of their human counterparts. It is this oversight that might cause the witches to destroy the Fae along with the witch hunters. "
— Monica, 1/22/2009" Best book of the trilogy, nice wrap up, okay read. "
— Faith, 1/11/2009" It was a decent ending to the series but it certainly didn't have me wishing for more of the characters like the Black Jewels Trilogy did. "
