This first volume of "The Secret Texts"-- a fantastic epic of ancient curses, evil conspiracies, and the darkest of sorceries--revolves around a 400-year battle between two clans for control of Calimekka. A young diplomat must reluctantly use her deadly magical powers to keep Calimekka from being crushed in a reign of unholy terror.
Fugitive diplomat Kait Galweigh battles Crispin Sabir for possession of an ancient artifact called the Mirror of Souls, unaware that the mirror contains the captive spirits of long-dead sorcerers who once conquered the world--and who are poised to wreak vengeance yet again.
In the conclusion of this series, the Final Battle between the Falcons, fugitive wizards committed to peace, and the Dragons, the immortal necromancers wielding black magic, ensues. Aided by the long-banished Scarred, the unstoppable army is bent on conquest. Kait Galweigh and Ry Sabir try to destroy the Scarred's leader, sorcerer Luercas, before he destroys Iberia forever.
The author of The Secret Texts Trilogy ("Courage of Falcons, Vengeance of Dragons, " and" Diplomacy of Wolves") takes readers back to the days before the ancient apocalypse, into the decadent heart of a fantastic empire in this "evocative page-turner."--"Booklist."
