Unable to get her out of his mind, Royce returns to Medford with Hadrian but the two receive a very different reception—Gwen refuses to see them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects that Royce will ignore any danger in his desire for revenge.
By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to once more protect them. What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of—but she's about to find out.

Tim Gerard Reynolds continues his narration of the Riyria Chronicles in this second book of the series. His portrayals of the returning characters are consistent, and continue to develop. As Hadrian and Royce seek revenge against the powerful people who have hurt their friends, Reynolds delves into the depths of their loyalty and camaraderie. New characters fit neatly into Reynolds's presentation, and their personalities quickly take shape. His nuanced portrayals of Reuben, a young trainee of the King's Guard, and Reuben's father are particularly notable. Reynolds maintains a fast pace as the author weaves the threads of the plot. Prior experience with this series, or with the related Riyria Revelations series, will be beneficial. J.E.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
