"Excellent fantasy"
The Kingdom of Ile Rien has fallen to the mysterious and
powerful sorcerers known as the Gardier who came through
an inter-dimensional portal to conquer the planet by
trapping sorcerers in crystal balls to use as weapons
against the populace. The same tactic worked on the planet
where the Gardier conquered the Syprians who don't allow
people with magic to live. Gilead the Chosen One of their
god has killed many evil wizards. Tremaine a resident of
Ile Rien followed a Gardier ship back to Sypria where she
enlisted the aid of Gilead and his brother llias. They travel back to Il Rien where they enlist the help of
the wizard Ariside who is trapped in one of the crystals.
He gives them a spell that takes them back to Ilias' home
world where they communicate with their God who sends them
into a portal to a place where the power of the Gardier
can be destroyed. They travel there knowing it might mean
their deaths. Back at home, Tremaine's lethally dangerous
father is using his considerable talents to stop the
Gardier from continuing the siege of Lodun where dozen's
of sorcerers and thousands of people are trapped by a
magic shield Tremaine, a scientist in a world that uses magic in its
everyday affairs, learns to love a man who lives on a
world where magic is an abomination. Her vulnerability and
her strength lie in her ability to adapt to any situation.
With her group of fellow resistance fighters she learns
how to use the world gate spells to hop from one world to
another and one place to another to try to achieve her
goals. There is plenty of action in this exciting finale
to the Fall of Ile Rien trilogy but what make this fantasy
so special are the fully developed characters. Readers
will understand what motivates them to take perilous risks
and hope they succeed n their endeavors. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
