Shadow of Prophecy...
Book 2 in the Ilduin Trilogy left me crying over the fact that it will likely be January before I read the end to this saga. After defeating the evil Mage Lantav, Tess and Co. realize that this is just the beginning. Theirs will be a long battle, toward the truth and freedom. Along the way they take up the fight to free the Anari people from the Bozandari, the race of people who have enslaved the Anari for more than three generations.
But before you dismiss this book as simply a tale of war, it is so much more than that. It is a tale of a people who were created so that they would never wage war, only to realize that their peaceful ways have in turn destroyed their freedom. It is a story of a prince among men, who must atone for what he believes are the grievous wrongs of his past. In Tess we have the story of one who is lost, only to find that she may not want to know her past...or her future.
If possible, Shadow of Prophecy may be even more beautifully written than Shadow of Myth, though it is difficult to tell. I encourage you all to go out and read them. But be warned, we'll have a wait on our hands for Shadow of Destiny, Book 3.
