This was the third instalment in the Young Adult Fantasy thriller series. The story picks up where it was previously left, with the new King circling his realm upon his Nightshade and the Dragoneers in their castle in the mountain taking turns in guarding the strange ship belonging to the Sarax. When circumstances change dramatically, something sinister, the cause behind the Sarax stirs from its life inside the ship and calls out to somehow cease control over all the druids including Zah. Jenka, in shock discovers Zah as she breaks the Sarax free from their new prison, acting under the control of the monster inside. They escape to the castle, yet the source, is now free and heads towards populations to feed upon the innocent.
Once again M.R. Mathias has written an exciting book, as the Dragoneers are thrown into many new challenges and discover even more powers they didn't realize they had. As the new monster feeds it grows ever stronger and changes shapes. Will the Dragoneers find a way to defeat this terrible monster? Can Jenka pull a rabbit out of a hat again and come up with some heroic act of valor? Can the new King come back from his corruption and lead his people and help the Dragoneers?
I found this book just as nail bitingly good as the first book. It is filled with action from start to finish! I was gladly surprised at the end to discover that the story will continue beyond the three books, with the next installment due in 2013. I really enjoyed the character Marcherion as his somehow discovers strange new powers in this book with no explanation, and I wonder if this will play a part in later books? Also the romance between Jenka and Zah has deepened which was good to see. This book however was the shortest of the three, but does come with a related short story which I enjoyed.
