Kate Elliott, acclaimed author of the Crown of Stars series, weaves an intricate spell of action, romance and magic in the enthralling sequel to Spirit Gate.
With the advent of the invading hordes led by a rogue Guardian, the once-peaceful realm of the Hundred has given way to violence and chaos. No one knows who or what has turned their godlike rulers against the people, and only the bravery and resourcefulness of Marshall Joss, a lone, eagle-riding reeve, and a force of outland Qin warriors, have prevented wholesale destruction. But when three new Guardians emerge—among them, Marit, a fellow reeve and former lover of Joss—a struggle begins among the immortals, with nothing less than the future of the land and its gods at stake.

I liked the story and I especially liked the character development. I hate reading books with 'people' I don't like, whose stories I don't care about. Not the case in this one. Each character had a unique voice and moved the story along nicely. Good read...waiting for the next one!
