The darkest age all begins when Elspeth and Edmund, the ship captain's daughter and the King's son, set off in a boat and meet. Then, a storm that just about seems to come about from no where hits Elspeth's ship, made by a raging dragon with a hint of malice, killing all hands but Elspeth, Edmund, and a old-looking, battered chest, keeper of secrets as the story of their powers and others unravel. Edmund can look in other people's eyes (he is a Ripente) and Elspeth, who the sword that held all the answers to the breaking or keeping of evil, has powers she has never even imagined before. As a story that has been going on for generations unravels between their eyes, they can't help but be amazed and confused at the same time. Read this book as a mystery leading to the depth of another leads you on. You can't put this book down until you finish, leaving you hungry for more and more, kind of like Elspeth's sword permanently embedded in her hand. In this story, Edmund and Elspeth, before at an edgy state finds the best of best friends and loyalty and truth in each other. As they cover and help each other, they find that there are a lot of more things that link them together as friends other than the forbidding Prophecy. Can they make it out alive?
A.J. Lake weaves a story about loss, love, hope, betrayal, and crushing fate that tell the breath-catching story of Edmund of Sussex, son of King of Sussex, and Elspeth, the brave girl that withstood everything and let everything go. They make a team full of bravo and vicious faith. However, skillful in life is the question, and lucky, sometimes, as well. Will they come out with their lives?
***I rate this book a 9.78 out of 10. Really a work of art!***
