Back Cover: Axis is the StarMan of prophecy and legend, destined to lead the three races of his world to unite as one people. The Prophecy foretold that Axis would defeat his half-brother, reclaim the land of Tencendor, and find a traitor in his camp. The Prophecy has also foretold of many a choice that Axis must make in order to fulfill his destiny…but neglected to mention that one of those choices would be to choose the love of either the beautiful and courageous Faraday or the feisty and hauntingly enchanting Azhure. To Faraday he had pledged his love and a place by his side as ruler of Tencendor; to Azhure he had given his children, his time, and his devotion. While Azhure explores her newfound powers as an Icarii Enchantress, and Faraday replants the ancient forests of the Mother, the evil Goragel is plotting Axis’s downfall, invading the sky with ice and terror and the flesh-hungery Gryphons. His most daring move is to follow prophecy, to taunt Axis with the pain of his beloved. But which beloved woman will Goragel choose… and will she be the one whose death will distract Axis from saving the world.
This is the third book in the in the Axis saga. Axis is trying to figure out which women he will choose Faraday and Azhure. While these two strong women have their own parts to play they within the Prophecy. The story takes you on a magical ride that keeps you guessing on what will happen next. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. The characters are so well written being full and dynamic. While the book almost seems to complete the story there is another book in this saga, Sinner, which I can’t wait to read.
