My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Troy a Shinree finds himself one of the only shinree allowed to go to war. He is still a slave to the king but not forced on magic blockers. He finds himself assigned to the kings wife Aylagar and assigned to her regiment. He must fo what he’s told and his master is no fan of magic.
Finally Troy and 4 others are called up for a special mission into the heart of battle they go with Troy on a special mission only he can be aware of, but their mission goes awry
..can he hang on?

Ian Troy a magic weilder who has freedom in a world where anyone who weilds magic is drugged and enslaved due to the destruction they can cause. the magic cost in this particular story is death of anything with life near the spell casted. People… trees… grass… everything and Ian learns this devastating fact on a major scale when he discovers the crown of stones.

However there is so much more to Ian’s Story as you meet the characters surrounding him and journey into a deep dark tunnel of secrets of his birth, his heritage and all the lies and manipulation that have plagued his entire existence.

This is the first book of a series exploring multiple races at war with one another for the same reason… its all about control. it begs the question can the races find a way to get along

In the final installment of this breathtaking series Ian Troy is all that’s left to save his realm and his people from his sadistic father who’s made himself the self appointed emperor….the resistance is shattered, the crown of stones is lost,the people have no hope and Ian Troy is in hiding marked by the crown for destruction. He’s had a vision of a tragic desolate future but can he bring the change that’s needed to thwart his vision?

This final book unveils all the secrets of the Shinree that have been lost to endless slavery and the secrets of their magic and the start of their Slavery.
Ian Troy still bears the marks of his use of magic, and gathers more marka with every use changing him a little more. What is one man willing to carry, or give up in the name of peace? Can he defeat his father once and for all or is the entire race doomed?

This was a thrilling conclusion with a bittersweet but very circular and appropriate ending that left me sad this series was over as i became attarched to the characters. A fantastic read with Brilliantly done characters, twisting and turning plot with vivid imagination and descriptions. So well done.
