Two thieves want answers. Riyria is born. . .For more than a year Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater from certain death. 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.

"Great series that ultimately wraps up with a nice bow. Lots of side stories still being published though. "

"I don't know why this book seems to get so many 5-star ratings on Goodreads... it's predictable, preachy, and the character development is non-existent. There are a couple of times when I laughed out loud, but that was the only redeeming aspect of this novel. But having made it through all the other books in this series, figured I should finish up with this one just to round things out."

"Royce is epic, Gwen is brave, Rose is in love, Hadrian is resigned-- what more could you ask from a second book in the prequelseries to one of the best stories ever written? Very little. Absolutely love it. "
