Summary

It has been a thousand years since the last Seed abandoned their duty. The mists are closing in. Finally, the Morning Bell tolls. A new Seed is born, but is it too late?

The rot eats away at mortals. The Witnesses pray so that they may not turn into one of the forgotten. And the constricting mists infect the lands with fear.

But there is more to this tale than just the Elders and their Seeds. Four mortals will have a part to play in Minethria’s fate.

A farmer girl with only love in her eyes.

A warrior born to the life of a refugee.

A highborn stuck between the realm of gods and men.

And a woman running into front lines and away from home.

Will the cycle finally be completed? Or will the mist swallow all? A seed is born and the evil is slain, so doth another cycle commence. Yet the last Seed born hath turned traitor, and the mists which had been pushed back, returneth.

Couldn't finish it. gave up half way through.

Parts of the story and world have potential but it jumps around and I have little idea what's really going on. Nora is fighting some big bloke for a book and then the next time we see her she is in a battle against a big force of organised Akar... The accents of the Akar man are just so weird... like an American trying to do a cockney accent. The sex scenes just seem un-necessary and often have more description than other important parts of the book. She is shagging Rafik... who cares..
