Review Summary

Book five of the Mageworlds. The war is over and now it is time for the children to make their mark. Khesat is in crisis and the warring factions, criminal guilds, and supranormal forces all have their eyes turned toward Jens Metadi-Jessan D'Rosselin, only child to the scapegrace brother of the current--and childless--Highest Khesat. Whoever controls the heir, controls Khesat, and whoever controls Khesat controls the galaxy.
Ed Phillips, Resident Scholar
