I anxiously awaited the publication of this book and couldn't wait to read it. All I can say is the apple doesn't fall far from the tree - handsome Brandt de Russe is the ancestor of Gaston de Russe (The Dark One: Dark Knight). Now I see where Gaston inherited his aggressive hereditary warmonger genes from - Brandt, and the feistiness and self-confidence - from Ellowyn. This is one great gene pool!I loved revisiting the de Nerra line from Falls of Erith (one of my all-time favorite re-reads). Braxton is mentioned in this book, along with the de Lara's, and St. Hevers.Can Ms. Le Veque write more de Russe family stories in the near future? I wonder if she can write these fascinating stories fast enough! By the way - the cover for this book is just great - it whets your appetite for more pictures and stories like that!
