"This is an excellent series, and Echoes of Betrayal is particularly
well done. [Elizabeth Moon] is a consistently entertaining writer, and
this book lives up to her standards."--San Jose Mercury News
All is not well in the Eight Kingdoms. In Lyonya, King Kieri is about to
celebrate marriage to his beloved, the half-elf Arian. But uncanny
whispers from the spirits of his ancestors continue to warn of treachery
and murder, and a finger of suspicion points in a shocking direction.
Meanwhile, in Tsaia, the young king Mikeli grapples with unrest among
his own nobility after granting the title and estates of a traitorous
magelord to a Verrakaien--who not only possesses the forbidden magic but
is a woman. The controversial decision and its consequences put the
king's claim to the throne in peril. But even greater danger looms. A
dragon's wild offspring are sowing death and destruction, upsetting the
ancient balance of power. A collision seems inevitable. Yet when it
comes, it will be utterly unexpected--and all the more devastating for
it.
"Fans of epic fantasy . . . should enjoy this series."--Library
Journal
