Goodreads Blurb

A year has passed since the Tournament.

Fletcher and Ignatius have been locked away in Pelt’s dungeons, but now they must face a trial at the hands of the Inquisition, a powerful institution controlled by those who would delight in Fletcher’s downfall.

The trial is haunted by ghosts from the past with shocking revelations about Fletcher’s origins, but he has little time to dwell on them; the graduating students of Vocans are to be sent deep into the orc jungles to complete a dangerous mission for the king and his council. If they fail, the orcish armies will rise to power beyond anything the Empire has ever seen.

With loyal friends Othello and Sylva by his side, Fletcher must battle his way to the heart of Orcdom and save Hominum from destruction…or die trying.

Thoughts

I am in love with this series, and I found this book just as good as The Summoner.

The story flows so well and follows Fletcher after the events of the last book. I did love that the story didn't start straight away after the end of the last book but follows a year later where Fletcher has been imprisoned in Pelt.

I found that the story flowed so well, and was such a great story, I was hooked from start to end (it took me 3 days to complete this book, it was that good).

I love the characters within this book, especially Fletcher and his friends (Othello and Sylva). I also love that we find out more about Fletcher's back story, and start to find out who he really is.

I really found myself despising Tarquin and Isadora, and the triptych that seems to have grown against Fletcher and his friends. They really are out to get Fletcher, and you do have to wonder if this is because they know who he really is.

Overall, such a great book, and I really need to start Battlemage ASAP.
