Fantasy. Fiction. Historical Fiction. HTML: Years have passed since the great miracle atop Mount Aida--a miracle known as the Covenant of Avelyn. Corona is a different place. Avelyn is about to be elevated to sainthood by the very church that once proclaimed him a heretic. And King Danube has asked Jilseponie Wyndon--the outlaw hero of the Demon War--to become his queen. Jilseponie is torn. She can never love any man as completely as she did the Ranger Elbryan, the father of the child she lost. But she cannot deny that she has feelings for the wise and kindly king. And she could do so much good at his side . . . Yet threat looms, one Jilseponie could never have anticipated. For the child that she lost never died--as she believes--but was stolen away by the queen of the elves. Raised in secret by the queen, he has grown to be a headstrong boy who shows every promise of being as skilled in the arts of combat as his father before him, and as powerful with the gemstone magic as his mother. They called him Aydrian. Aydrian: a boy raised to be a weapon. A boy who has never known the love of a human mother. A boy so hungry for fame and the sound of his name on human tongues that he will pay any price for a chance to wrest immortality from an uncaring world. Aydrian: a boy on a collision course with destiny! From the Hardcover edition. .… (més)

This book had a lot more intrigue than we are used to seeing in Salvatore’s books. I liked it, but as far as intrigue goes, it wasn’t all that it could have been. I felt my esteem for Pony dropping as she couldn’t rise to the challenge of Danube’s court. Also, a woman does not do her duty as a wife by never rejecting her husband when he wants to have sex! That must be a "fantasy" for Salvatore. That was irritating. The relationship that evolves between Jilseponie and Danube is beautiful. The best part has to be watching Aydrian grow up and watch as he struggles with and against the demon spirit that has touched him. Seeing the elves come to term with the terrible mistake that they made was also somewhat vindicating. They should have realized that they know nothing about raising a human child. The much-anticipated confrontation between Pony and her child by Elbryan was a great disappointment. I think Pony should have had more of an emotional crisis when she found out that her child had survived. (
