You, I said, my voice foreign to my ears, weak and brittle. I saw you chained in a prison cell … You were soaked in blood. I remembered her telling me about her dream. But the wound wept yellow, and my brow was feverish, the filth of the cell seeping in. I wasn’t dead yet, so I knew that the knife plunged into my belly had at least missed anything vital. Shouldn’t you do something? Was it a laugh I heard as the beam faded away? Or was it a quarterlord taunting me? What have we here? It pointed at my belly now, my shirt stiff with dried blood. The narrow beam came only after long spells of darkness, maybe once a day? I wasn’t sure, and even then it didn’t stay for long, sneaking in like a curious onlooker.
How long had I been here? Five days? A month? Eleven years? I called out to my mother and then I remembered. It should have been easy, but the warmth eluded me. I read this book in one day! Go read! Read moreĪ dusty beam of light wormed its way through the stone, and I leaned in, hoping to steal some warmth. I like the Remnant Chronicles better, but I do really like this duology. I never like to say much with sequels because I don't want to give anything away.
They each have to be smart and figure out who to trust and how to overthrow the invaders who have massive weapons and lots of mercenaries, and, of course, find each other. He doesn't know what happened to Kazi, his town, or his family. She has to figure out what happened and try to rescue some of Jase's family while "towing the line" the invaders insist she follow. Here is where the story begins.Kazi ends up in town with the people who have invaded. Also, the bird couldn't have been flying-it's been dead for a while. The message states that Jase's brother Samuel is dead and the note isn't finished. They have big plans.until a messenger bird falls from the sky. They are in love and are excited to tell the family and start building up a new, more lawful and legal, place to live and provide a city for the Ballengers and others to live and trade. We return to Kazi and Jase as they are returning to Tor's Watch to give the good news: Tor's Watch will be the first kingdom, a recognized "kingdom" in the Alliance. The end does allow room for more, but it does end nicely. I can't find anything that says there is a trilogy. Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves are the follow-up duology. The Remnant Chronicles are among my favorite trilogies with Kiss of Deception being book one.
