Summary

The ancient city of Valtera has vanished without a trace。

At least that is what outsiders believe。 But an unspeakable event and a curse dating back a century still haunts the city and its people。 A curse such as this has not been encountered before, and the dwindling population of Valtera has grown desperate。

Now the people of the city are being killed。 Similar victims were mentioned in Valtera’s history, and the dead only have one thing in common。 They all carry the curse mark—a burn spiraling around their arms。

Meanwhile, Calec of the Woods hunts for the murderer of Serileen’s mother, but on his venture, he is abducted and tempted。 Tempted so deeply that he becomes haunted by a face, a name, and the imploring eyes of a woman。

Calec must seek out the vanished city, its rich history and secrets, its curse, and its victims。 And he must come to realize that whatever lies behind this curse has become fixated on him, or he will be the next to die。

I’m a big fan of this series and think this is the best book so far! I enjoy mysteries, but most tend to get repetitive when done in a series, but not these books。 Each one offers a unique, well developed and truly intriguing setting that draws you into the story as the mystery unfolds。 Plus, the fantasy world and supernatural elements sprinkled in make it so original for a mystery/thriller, I get sucked in every time。 No spoilers but for this book in particular the amount of detailed history an I’m a big fan of this series and think this is the best book so far!

The best new take on fantasy I've read! No wonder it won medals in one of the largest book contests there is。Just such original ideas for the events and mysteries that it'll keep you reading or thinking about it between reads。 You'll NEED to know what is happening and why。 The curse on the city is deep and unique and the twists shocking but make perfect sense。 The ending and finale are vivid and so good I wonder why no one has thought to do it before。 The best new take on fantasy I've read!

I received a free ARC of the book for giving an early honest review, and so I’m doing, just because I want to。 This is a fantasy book with an intriguing and really original mistery。 This is the 4th of the series and it’s growing better and better。 There are a few references to previous books, but those hardly interfere with the main story, so you can read it alone。 However if you like mistery and fantasy you’ll love this book and you’ll be longing for more。 In that case the background story will I received a free ARC of the book for giving an early honest review, and so I’m doing, just because I want to。 This is a fantasy book with an intriguing and really original mistery。 This is the 4th of the series and it’s growing better and better。 There are a few references to previous books, but those hardly interfere with the main story, so you can read it alone。 However if you like mistery and fantasy you’ll love this book and you’ll be longing for more。 In that case the background story will catch you too。 。。。more
