"Branded a traitor by her people, Shea and her warlord-the fiercely dangerous Fallon-travel to the Pathfinders' seat of power at her father's request, hoping to form an alliance despite the distrust between them. It doesn't take long before Shea and Fallon realize something is dangerously wrong in the place she once called home. Ancient, deadly creatures-gone for hundreds of years, once again walk the lands, awakened from a deep sleep. Worse, it seems the Pathfinders are keeping a secret-one that could destroy them all. On the brink of battle with each other, the Pathfinders and Trateri must join forces if they hope to defeat the evil at the heart of the Badlands. As the tension rises between the two peoples, and Shea and her family, Shea and Fallon must convince them to overcome their differences if they are to triumph over impossible odds. Because the beasts may be the least of their worries. Sometimes betrayal comes from within, and the most dangerous monsters may be those closest to them.”
Branded a traitor by her own people and constantly having to remain vigilant around Fallon’s people, Shea has her work cut out for her if she is going to keep up with the double-dealing Clan leaders and her hateful as well as judgmental pathfinders while battling a new threat to the Broken Lands.
In this next book of the broken lands, we once again follow the adventures of Shea O’Halloran as she stumbles though negotiation of an alliance between her people and Fallon’s Trateri. T.A. White takes us through Shea’s struggles as she try to find common ground between her people and Fallon’s, while having to contently remain vigilant against more then beasts. As we read more into the story we learn more about Shea’s past and the people who shaped her into the women she has become.
White constantly delivers detailed descriptions of the scene to give readers a clear picture of what is happening at any given time. The slow character development of her characters make you love them more and more while feeling what they feel when they are wronged or betrayed. One other this I love about this series is the almost seamless transition from one book to the other. The time frame picks up almost right near where the previous book left off, and if there is any deviation in the time frame it’s explained with-in the first few pages of the book.
One of the things I love about T.A. Whites books is that there isn’t a lot to be worried about in terms of spoilers. The only concern I would have about this book is some of the language used in the book is adult language and might not be appropriate for children under the age of 15.
