Description
Provoked by Kearney and the hunters of Loughran, Phelan hires warriors from across the outland sea. Mercenaries from the Tradelands descend on the archipelago, brandishing fear as they execute the wicked vision of their masters. The Guild’s reprisals strike without remorse, sparing no one, Morgen least of all. Imprisoned once again in the Governors’ Hall, he awaits his death.
In the mountains of the Mirror, dragons return with the spring, impaled by arrows, wings torn to white bone. Bound to the dragons and the Belonging they embody, Conall and Torin fly for the islands of the western sea. Left behind in Taran Leigh, Treasa dreams of Conall’s death, her visions as certain as the change of moons.
In the epic conclusion of Eye of Sun, forces from both sides of the sea converge on the Arran Archipelago for a final reckoning. Skyriders of Taran Leigh and the Mirror join with the hunters of Loughran, Endellion archers, and daring skimmers for a last stand. The trap is set and not all will survive.
This is the final book in the Dragonsoul Quartet and it is a beautiful, tragic, spellbinding tale.
“Courage is what happens when you persist in spite of your fear.”
I love the lyrical prose, the realistic characters, the very sense of being there in the story. Peach is one of the few authors out there who totally immerse their readers in their world.
The main theme of this tale is the struggle of conscience; should you fight and possibly kill in order to preserve your peaceful way of life? Peach deals with all aspects of this theme in a sensitive way.
I feel a bit lost now I’ve finished the quartet (what do I read now that won’t feel like a disappointment?) Yet at the same time I feel inspired and invigorated.
If you’ve not yet started this Quartet, buy it today! You won’t be disappointed!
