I cried my eyes out twice in the last 200 pages of this book. I was far from being okay.

After years of struggle and sacrifice, Falcio val Mond, First Cantor of the Greatcoats, is on the brink of fulfilling his dead king's dream: Aline, the king's daughter, is about to take the throne and restore the rule of law once and for all. But for the Greatcoats, nothing is ever that simple. In the neighboring country of Avares, an enigmatic new warlord is uniting the barbarian armies that have long plagued Tristia's borders--and even worse, he is rumored to have a new ally: Trin, who's twice tried to kill Aline to claim the throne of Tristia for herself. With the armies of Avares at her back, led by a bloodthirsty warrior, she'll be unstoppable. Falcio, Kest, and Brasti race north to stop her, but in those cold and treacherous climes they discover something altogether different, and far more dangerous: a new player is planning to take the throne of Tristia, and with a sense of dread the three friends realize that the Greatcoats, for all their skill, may not be able to stop him. As the nobles of Tristia and even the Greatcoats themselves fight over who should rule, the Warlord of Avares threatens to invade. With so many powerful contenders vying for power, it will fall to Falcio to render the one verdict he cannot bring himself to utter, much less enforce. Should he help crown the young woman he vowed to put on the throne, or uphold the laws he swore to serve?

Fabulous series!! Full of humour, adventure and heartache. And most of all it celebrates the ties of friendship and family and how the two are really one and the same.

Really loved this book, and whole series really. This is a 4.5 for sure. I loved how fast paced this was there was never a dull moment, there was always something happening, which made it a mega fast read.

This series as a whole blew me away, I loved every single one of the characters. Falcio made me want to hug him a lot with everything he had to deal with. I was so glad he had the steadiness of Kest and the humour of Brasti to help him through everything. Valiana was a delight and I loved the relationship she had with Falcio. My beautiful Aline was so sweet and wise beyond her years sometimes. Trin was still a bitch and I am still torn about how to feel when it comes to the Tailor. 

I have a feeling this series will stay with me for a long time, and I am so excited that Sebastien is going to return to this world and these beloved characters.
