Redemption is the darkest volume of the Royal Blood Chronicles; a bitter sweet journey. The joy brought by getting to know their sons is tempered by the deaths of good friends.  A silent, hidden yearning is cast off when Tao puts on the trappings of his new office at the death of Queen Norah, and Cain finally claims his true love only to lose Idalia forever.The Five and the Protectors unravel the mystery surrounding the hidden existance of their sons, while pealing back the layers of treachory that is centered in Islandria.  The conspiracy extends to the Royal house of the Elves and it forces Tao to make the decision he had been avoiding.This book was fast paced and I read it in one setting.  I can't wait to see the sons take their places as the Six and find out how the remaining 20 girls and 14 boys fit into the unfolding.
