Summary of this Book...
This story is about a youth, mute and face hideously deformed by a poisonous plant. Found by servants of the Isse Tower the young orphan with no memory or name begins a life of pain and drudgery to the noble Stormrider Lords and their winged horses. But this is only the beginning for the mute youth who finds friendship in a kind stranger who gives the orphan language--handspeak--and a name--"Imrhein." Given these wonderful gifts, Imrhein sets off on a long unexpected journey, battling evil "unseelies" at night and making friends with one of the elite Dainnan Brotherhood by day. Set in a world long abandoned by the Fair Folk where wights friendly and evil roam at will, this is a story you won't soon forget.
This type of Book is good for...
Anyone who loves journey type fantasties. The world is slightly similar to Tolkien's Middle-Earth, which is comforting if you're a fan, but it's also breathtakingly different for those tired of the typical epic.
I especially liked...
The characters are vividly written and the settings exquisite.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read the next! (3 books total in the series)
This Book made me feel...
Like I stepped for a moment into the realm of the Fae.
The author of this Book...
Cecilia Dart-Thornton. This is her first novel.
I recommend this Book because...
Any lover of fantasy should enjoy it.
Further Comments...
This book is also relatively clean for those uncomfortable with gore and graphic sex scenes. Though the author doesn't try to avoid bloodshed, when it happens she doesn't dwell on it.

I also enjoyed her style of writing. It reminded me of Tolkien or C.S. Lewis. There were a few times when I was getting a little tired of the descriptions, but then it would always move on before I got bored.
