Summary
Juliet Marillier continues the epic fantasy begun with The Dark Mirror, which Interzone called: "A fascinating evocation of life in Pictish England and an emotional roller coaster of a story." King Bridei is a man with a mission. His wish to unite his kingdom seems almost within his grasp but there are forces working to undo his dream. He sends Faolan, his most trusted advisor (who is also a master assassin and spymaster) out into the world to ferret out the truth of who is friend and who is foe. Along the way Faolan will uncover many truths. Some may hold the key to Bridei's future. But more important, they may unlock the secrets that Faolan has held deep within his soul for decades. And offer him the chance of redemption.

arthuresque
i am so grateful for this story and heartbroken now its ended. it felt like coming home. This is one of my favourite periods and geographical locations in history and it was awesome for these well known historical figures to come to life. my ancestors were probably part of the k8ngdoms of Fortriu and Dalriada and I've felt a strong connection to them while listening to this. At the same time the story was in many ways similar to versions of King Arthur and it was fun to imagine that if Arthur ever existed, it mustve been culturally quite similar being of the same era and Brythonic culture. very sad irs ended, I will miss Faolan the most!!!!

So much better than 1 and 2!
Still not in love with the narrator's interpretation of people's voices (Faolan sounds like he's 70) but this story is great!
