Description
Time is short. The proposed marriage of Valentyna and Celimus draws ever closer, but Wyl's latest guise leaves him powerless to intervene. His plans in ruins, the former General of the Legion becomes more and more reckless in his attempts to prevent the union of his mortal enemy and the woman he loves. But he must be careful to heed the warning of the manwitch, Elysius: Myrren's gift will bow to no man's will.
As events in Morgravia, Briavel and the Mountain Kingdom draw to a climax, the fate of three nations will rest with the extraordinary abilities of a small boy named Fynch, and the capricious magic of the Quickening. Wyl Thirsk is about to discover the truth of Myrren's legacy: a gift of life . . . or a curse beyond death?

Reviews / Votes
Everything you could want from a concluding volume of a series: packed with adventure and gisly deaths, it's funny in places, romantic in others, and above all, neat and tidy at the end. . . breathless entertainment. * SFX * Amid a sea of bland high-fantasy novels, this is a good one, an intricately plotted tale of love and politics, set against the backdrop of a rich fantasy realm with interesting magic, and peopled with characters whom the reader grows to care about. A fa * KIRKUS starred review * What a blast of a series this is! Fiona McIntosh's Quickening trilogy has been a non-stop breathtaking romp from start to finish, and Bridge Of Souls concludes all the adventure, grisly deaths and megalomaniacal machinations in gleeful style. . . breathlessly entertaining and oodles of fun. * Interzone *More details
