Summary

A year ago, the March Kingdoms were at peace, and the Eddon family held the throne. Now the family has been shattered. King Olin Eddon is a prisoner in a faraway land, and Olin’s heir Kendrick is dead – slain by treachery and dark, bloody magic.

With their father and brother taken from them, the royal twins Barrick and Briony have done their best to hold the kingdom together, but now Barrick has been captured in a failed war against the immortal Twilight People and Briony has been forced to flee.

Behind the Shadowline, Prince Barrick is lost and spellbound in the land of the fairies. While Princess Briony, in her flight from the castle, finds both allies and deadly enemies in the unexpected places far from the land of her birth.

During their desperate journeys the twins discover that even a land’s rulers may know little of its true history, and that both families and nations can hide dark secrets.

Classic Williams, though a little heavy going

Tad Williams provides his usual solidly epic fantasy world, filled with rich lore and characterisation that is sure to entertain. Some may find the helplessness of some protagonists frustrating, and the sheer wordiness of the work can sometimes rival Dickens, but overall the depth of the characters and the sense of growing dramatic tension usually overcomes the length of descriptions if not their melodrama. The reader is excellent in his presentation, and the work has the meat you expect from Williams. Overall worth a listen.
