I can surely say that I did not expect this book to scare me or make me feel so broken as it did. 

A while back I had tried to read this second installment of the series but had reached a horrible reader's block! Reading it over again up to the point of bookmark was rough considering I remembered a lot more details.

One thing I commend Flewelling for I'd her ability to make me remember a lot of scenes and dialogue and that's a hard thing to master, but it can also be a disadvantage with novels as long as these.

Past my last read I encountered many emotions. Anger, sadness, affection. I adore these characters more than anything.

Flewelling might as well have come to my home and beat me senseless!

The torture and pain these characters went through, the challenges and the foes they faces.  By the Maker! I couldn't believe how much I ached for them.

I felt their pain and their love and I can say that I was completely mesmerized by Flewelling's talent to keep a plot moving. 

I look forward to seeing their next adventures, even if it means a lot more pain in the future. 

I can't wait to see this series through !

With the Leran threat laid to rest, Alec and Seregil are now able to turn their attention to the ancient evil which threatens their land. The Plenimarans, at war with Skalans, have decided to defeat their ancient enemy by raising up the Dead God, Seriamaius. The early attempts at this reincarnation--masterminded by the sinister Duke Mardus and his sorcerous minion Vargul Ashnazai--once left Seregil in a sorcerous coma. Now, an ancient prophecy points to his continuing role in the quest to stop Mardus in his dread purpose. Seregil's friend and Mentor, the wizard Nysander, has long been the guardian of a deadly secret. In a secret, silver-lined room hidden well beneath the Oreska, he has served for most of his 300 years as the keeper of a nondescript clay cup. But this cup, combined with a crystal crown and some wooden disks, forms the Helm of Seriamaius, and any mortal donning the reconstructed Helm will become the incarnation of the god on earth. Nysander holds the cup and Mardus the wooden disks--one of which was responsible for Seregil's coma--but the crown must still be located. Threatened under pain of death by Nysander to keep his quest a secret even from his loyal companion, Alec, Seregil is dispatched to find the last missing piece of the Helm so that he and Nysander can destroy it. But this is only the beginning of one of his deadliest journeys ever, for the prophecy also holds that four will come together in a time of darkness, and gradually all that Seregil values is placed at risk as he, Alec, Nysander and Micum are drawn into a deadly web of terror and intrigue.
