In the final book in this gripping, romantic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of Robin McKinley, Kristin Cashore, and Shannon Hale, the band of rebels reach their climactic confrontation with the king.
 
Just one year ago, Neryn had nothing but a canny skill she barely understood and a faint dream that the legendary rebel base of Shadowfell might be real. Now she is the rebels’ secret weapon, and their greatest hope for survival in the fast-approaching ambush of King Keldec at Summerfort.
 
The fate of Alban itself is in her hands. But confidence is stretching thinner by the day when word of another Caller reaches the rebels: a Caller at Keldec’s side with all of Neryn’s power and none of her benevolence or hard-earned control. As the days before the battle drop quickly away, Neryn must find a way to uncover—and exploit—her opponent’s weaknesses. At stake lies freedom for the people of Alban, a life free from hiding for the Good Folk—and a chance for Flint and Neryn to finally be together.

      The third and final entry in the Shadowfell trilogy delivers exactly what readers want without feeling either easy or obvious. After the tragic events toward the end of the second volume, the rebels have regrouped. Neryn, the rebel whose magical skill allows the humans and Good Folk to work together to defeat cruel King Keldec, has only months to complete her training. But her plans are derailed by the appearance of a second Caller, one working for Keldec, and by a storm that nearly destroys one of the four Guardians whose magic permeates Alban and whose training Neryn must undergo. Despite Neryn's tendency to restate things frequently in her narration, a tic that deeply slowed the second volume, this entry keeps pace, in part because Neryn has grown into a more proactive figure and in part because the final battle finally arrives. The various threads-primarily the importance of belief and ritual and the struggle between love and duty-come to satisfying, even emotional closings. Medieval fantasy with a strong female lead and a definitive ending: That's enough to keep plenty of readers happy. (map) (Historical fantasy. 13 & up)
