“The Knights of Atlantis created the Infernal Clock, the Roseblades, and other weapons of celestial illusion. Yet today the Knights are less than a pale shadow of their former glory. A bonfire diminished to dying embers. None of the Order could wield Origin with enough conviction to even blemish the Everlasting.” Emily grinned and gave me a wink. “Well, save perhaps one shadowless fool.”
The peace forged by Declan Hale at the end of the Tome Wars was meant to last a hundred generations. Yet barely six years have passed and the drums of war echo once more across the thousands of worlds of the Story Thread.
With shadowed enemies loosed from the Void, the Knights Infernal again after his head, and the Everlasting wrapping him in their dark schemes, Declan will have to take the fight across worlds further than he’s ever gone before—or risk True Earth getting swept away in the maelstrom. - from Amazon.com
What do I say about a book that has me torn in different directions? Declan Hale returns in the third installment of this ongoing saga. After being reinstated as a Knight Infernal, Declan is forced into play against the Everlasting, in an effort to not only save Forget, but to save True Earth. Along the way he allies up with some of his enemies, fights long-forgotten gods, and all while wearing a waistcoat.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the continuing adventure of Declan Hale, and at the same time I a bit miffed. As with any good on-going adventure, waiting the next installment is not the most pleasurable thing I imagine. Knowing that there is more to come, I wait anxiously for Ducie to produce.
