This stunning book opens twelve years after the end of The Cup of
the World and tells the story of Ambrose, son of Phaedra and last
in the king's line, who is living exiled with his mother in the
dilapidated manor of Tarceny. Ambrose's life is threatened by the
hooded priest of the Undercraft, an ancestral spirit of pure evil
who must end Ambrose's life in order to survive himself. And even
when Ambrose is hidden within the house of the Widow of Develin, a
hallowed place of learning and haven of education, the priest and
his minions slowly and subtly infiltrate within, subverting the
minds of those most educated and powerful and leaving Ambrose in
mortal danger. This book is about the meaning of kingship, the
relationship between father and son, mother and son, the importance
of courage and knowledge, innocence and experience. It is a huge
and marvellous read - challenging and uplifting.
