The story of Ward continues (from Dragon Bones). Hurog Keep
lies in a heap, destroyed by powerful magic, and Ward must rebuild it. He takes
his duties as Lord Hurog seriously, and wishes only to protect his people from
wars, starvation, and evil.
Unfortunately, rebellion is brewing against the evil usurper
High King Jakoven, and Ward is sucked into joining the rebels. But the High
King has a secret weapon, and nothing will stop him from using what he has to
gain what he wants, and he wants Ward, the "simple" Lord of Hurog.
I love it when I find a 'one-sit' read, and Patricia Briggs
write those kinds of books for me. I have no choice to sit and read until the
end, and then I'm usually sorry I did because it is The End and I must leave a
great read about a fantastical universe populated by people I'd like to know in
real life. Well, some of them. Briggs has the right balance of humor (I laughed
out loud more than once) and adrenaline.
Please, Ms. Briggs, bring us more of this universe. Do not
let this be a two-book series.
