Publisher's summary

Agatha, Jaime, and Sigrid must unite the people of Scotia and beyond as war comes to the Isle of Skye. But will betrayal and secrecy be their undoing? The epic final installment of the Shadow Skye trilogy.

With the deadly phantom sgàilean defeated, Jaime and Agatha prepare to help their clan reclaim their compound from the treacherous Raasay people. But Sigrid, sent at the behest of Queen Beatrice, arrives with a warning: the kings of Norveg and Ingland have joined forces and plan to march north to annihilate the people of Scotia. The clan quickly turns to the Badhbh and his powerful blood magic. But instead of aiding them, the mage kidnaps Agatha, seemingly as an offering to the kings. Now Sigrid and Jaime must rally unlikely allies to face a common enemy, even as Jaime finds himself drawn to a boy from another clan. Meanwhile, Agatha garners unexpected support among the Inglish as well as from an animal of Scotian legend, and discovers the extraordinary secrets of her past. Three remarkable heroes unite for the grand conclusion of this rich and exciting series.

Critic reviews

“As Jaime, [Gary] Furlong pauses in the perfect places to accentuate the character's lack of confidence. [Nina] Yndis's Sigrid does not speak the native language well; her dialogue is broken and convoluted, while her internal dialogue is clear. [Fiona] Hardingham's Agatha, a fearless animal whisperer with Down syndrome, is the featured character. Hardingham captures her brave spirit in her internal dialogue and her halting speaking pattern when she speaks aloud. Each cast member expertly mimics the styles of the other narrators. All this makes for an immersive and emotional audiobook experience for listeners of all ages.” (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)

"A trilogy closer that gives all the characters chances to grow and shine." (Kirkus Reviews)
