She sets a plan to survive and gain vital information about the enemy and what treasures they seek. Treated as a prisoner, she is forced to travel in pursuit of her brother but she will not be deterred. they need to find a safe haven before the cold of winter sets in Then we switch to Cywen, captured by the enemy invaders as her comrades have fled. The journey will not be an easy one as they find themselves in enemy territory and a warband ambitiously hunting them. Immediately following the conclusion of Malice, we follow Corban and his friends as they flee north after their home of Dun Crin is invaded, leaving the whole fortress in chaos. Now lets join our characters as they traverse the dreaded Banished Lands. I can safely say that Valor doesn’t suffer from the dreaded sophomore slump and exceeded my expectations in everyway! This will be a spoiler free review, but I will be touching on some events that do happen in Malice, so keep this in mind should you continue reading this review. It left me wondering how is he going to top this and what exactly does he have in story for his characters, whom I consider to be among the best in epic fantasy. John Gwynne has set the bar extremely high for himself following the conclusion of Malice.
