Resumen del Editor
Five winters have passed since young king Bridei ascended the throne of Fortriu. Five years, in which the people have felt a contentment unknown for generations. But the security of a people can vanish in a heartbeat, for wolves are often drawn to fields filled with fattened sheep. Bridei is determined to drive the Gaelic invaders from his lands once and for all. And so, with his land secure and his house in order, he prepares for war. One of Bridei's plans to win the war to come involves the beautiful young Ana. A princess of the Light Isles, she has dwelt as a hostage at the court of Fortriu for most of her young life. Despite being a pawn of fortune, she has bewitched all at court and is dearly loved by Bridei and his queen. But Ana understands her duty. And so she will travel north, to make a strategic marriage with a chieftain she has never seen, in the hopes of gaining an ally on whom Bridei's victory relies.
For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a small band led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores Ana to trust him and see the good in Faolan…but Ana cannot see beyond his cold competence and killer's eyes. Then, when she arrives at the chieftain Alpin's stronghold in the mysterious Briar Woods, her discomfort and unease increase tenfold, for this is a place of full of secrets and her betrothed is an enigma himself. The more Ana tries to uncover the truth of her new life, the more she discovers a maze of polite diversions that mask deadly lies. She fears Faolan, but he may prove to be the truest thing in her world.
Or her doom.

Historia
The future of Britain is at stake. In the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, the despotic Uther Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death, and his kingdom is being torn apart by the squabbling of minor kings. But only one man can bring the Celts together as a nation and restore peace - King Arthur. Artorex (Arthur) doesn't yet seem like the great man he will grow into. We meet him as a shy, subservient twelve-year-old living in the foster home of Lord Ector, who took in Artorex as a babe to protect him from murderous kin.

As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

Historia
Celtic Britain is on the brink of collapse, and the kingdom's bloodiest days are upon it. For many years, the people of Briton have enjoyed peace and prosperity under the reign of King Arthur. He has ruled with dignity, honor, and humility. Arthur is now weakening with age, however, and the seeds of discontent are being sown. Seeking to cleanse the land of Christian belief, dissenters need a symbol with which to legitimize their pagan claim and gather malcontents together into a cohesive weapon.

Alexander's beauty, strength and defiance were apparent from birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. His mother, Olympias, and his father, King Philip of Macedon, fought each other for their son's loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle. His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotle's tutoring provoked his mind and Homer's Iliad fuelled his aspirations.

Historia
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

A thoroughly modern tale of politics, spin-doctoring, and media manipulation. As the harsh wind holds the Greek fleet trapped in the straits at Aulis, frustration and political impotence turn into a desire for the blood of a young and innocent woman - blood that will appease the gods and allow the troops to set sail. And when Iphigeneia, Agamemnon's beloved daughter, is brought to the coast under false pretences, it looks as if the ships will soon be on their way.

Great historical content, intriguing heart pounding story, some parts hold you waiting for the next page.
Liked the characters, very strong, loved that there are more than one main characters.
Did not like how sappy a couple of the love thought scenes became.
Read all three of the books and really liked them.

I enjoyed this title immensely. I found it to be much more interesting than the first book in the series and my heart ached for the characters throughout. I can't wait to see what is in store for Faolan in book three!

Good follow-up, some narration variations from 1st
Any additional comments?
Really good second in a series, however as other reviewers mentioned, some voices were changed and were a little jarring until one became used to them. Bridei apparently has bronchitis, and most men in general sound either evil or acerbic. I suppose with this one since there are so many men-at-arms and male roles, it's tough to come up with yet another way to sound like a swarthy warrior. There were a few slight differences in how some of the names were pronounced, which is slightly annoying at first until you get used to it. Broichan and Faolan in particular. (E.g. Fay-oh-lin instead of Fay-lin, and Broy-han vs. Broy-shahn) I enjoyed the departure from court intrigue, which was very prevalent in the first book, but I can see how readers who enjoyed that would be a little turned off by the love stories that are more abundant in this book.

I've loved all of Juliet's books but I've found some of the audio versions are read in a super dramatic way that I don't really care for. but the first 2 books in this series have been awesome. Downloading the 3rd now :)

Beautiful story
Any additional comments?
In listening to this book I remembered how capable Juliet Marillier is of completely enchanting you with the world and characters she creates. It actually made me like book 1 a lot less because I believe she could have made book 1 much more interesting throughout. I was also hugely disappointed that Bridei and Tuala's love story that came about at the VERY end of book 1 was just skipped right over and picked up years later in this book. I would have loved to have spent more time with them together in book 1.
Anyway, this book was exciting, mysterious, heart-breaking, and lovely. It was everything you would want in a story, although maybe it was lacking a bit of depth with the characters. The narrator was fine in book 1 since most of the voices were either of young people or old people and he managed that quite well. But this book was mostly people in their teens and 20's and the narrator made all the men sound old and creepy, or like hobbits. That put me off particularly when it came time for the sentimental scenes or romance, especially, because it sounded wrong.

WHAT A RIDE
This second book was fantastic. I fell in love with the villains as well as the heroes. The weaving of characters intertwined with each other was masterful. I kept trying to figure out what was next and then gave up and let the author guide me. I can easily forgive the narrator for anything he had a mighty tale to tell and overall was excellent. A must read or listen

Second book better than first, on to third book!
I bought both books on a series sale, and wasn't happy with the uneven quality of the first book, but still considered it a 4 star book.
The second book in the series has tighter writing, lots of intricate plot lines that weave together, and more sensory descriptions (mostly visual, some sounds, some tactile) than in the first book to help fine tune the mental imagery the reader/listener uses.
The story is much more complex, interesting, and adventurous. Still lacking or awkward in the wit or humor department. It's great that authors do a lot of research and come up with intricate plot lines, but if an author can write despair and horrible treatment of people or fight scenes, what's wrong with some wit and humor as well in order to balance out the human experience.
On to book three!

Very engaging
Excellent character development, lots of intrigue, and a side of magic. Found myself listening every chance I got.

Extraordinary!
One of my favorites. Once again Juliet ha the ability to provide amazing detail that allows the reader to visualize the scenes and understand the feelings of the characters. Also, this story kept me on the edge with the twists in the plot.
