Description:From Publishers WeeklySinger and spy Celestine de Joyeuse must finally come to terms with her fathers legacy in this complex sequel to 2008s Tracing the Shadow. While serving Francias King Enguerrand, Celestine longs to destroy the Magus Linnaius, whom she believes betrayed her father to the Inquisition. Celestine is aided by Faie, a spirit bound by her father to protect her, but Faie was responsible for keeping the balance between the mortal world and the realm of the dead, and now lost souls haunt the living. The story ties up minor plot threads from Ashs Tears of Atramon trilogy, but its dependence on backstory will challenge new readers, while fans of Tracing the Shadow will wonder why previously major characters have been relegated to token roles. (Feb.) Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromThose who enjoyed the intricate Tracing the Shadow (2008) will want to read the conclusion of its story, set in the world of the Tears of Artamon trilogy. It continues the exploits of dozens of characters in several different countries, dealing with politics, mythology, espionage, ghosts, religion, music, and romance. A prophecy predicts the end of the world if the Drakhaouls, who change the people they inhabit and can fly as dragons, are freed and brought into the world of the living. Rieuk Mordiern finally begins to love again but faces betrayal before venturing into the Rift and getting lost for years. Musicians Celestine (formerly Klervie) and Jagu go spying in Muscobar, and when they are targeted by the inquisition, Celestine gets her appearance altered to become an opera-company’s cleaning lady (though she is soon performing in it). An exorcism gone wrong slays a monarch’s best friend, seven daemons escape the Rift and possess highly placed men, and characters and story lines eventually converge. A challenging journey for characters and readers alike. --Diana Tixier Herald

Description:ReviewIf you like Sharpe, then this book is a must, your Christmas present solved. Bernard Cornwell, Daily Mail A brilliant warts-and-all depiction of Wellingtons famous riflemen. Daily Telegraph As part of the Light Division created to act as the advance guard of Wellingtons army, the 95th Rifles are the first into battle and the last out. Fighting, thieving and raping their way across Europe, they are clearly no ordinary troops. The 95th are in fact the first British soldiers to take aim at their targets, to take cover when being shot at, to move tactically by fire and manoeuvre. And by the end of the six-year campaign they have not only proved themselves the toughest fighters in the army, they have also - at huge personal cost - created the modern notion of the infantryman.
