My rating: 5 of 5 stars
    

Dagger seems to be ready to die, he is mortally wounded when he see a young boy being bargained with by sex-slave traders, and if there is one thing that Dagger is not about to let happen, is anything to a young, innocent child. There may have never been anyone around to protect him when he was young and innocent, but he won't let the same happen to someone else.

What Dagger ultimately finds in his actions is redemption, or maybe salvation. He finally finds someone to trust and love, despite his background and up bringing.

This is a long saga book - in that there are parts of the past that are brought up, things that happened to him as a child, and then throughout the years growing up. This book is a look into the twisted and deranged mind of Erdine, the grandmother of Nyk and Jullian who tired to have Nyk killed as a toddler and who inflicted unspeakable torture on jullian. Although there is a lot of the past, there is also a lot of present - and that would be the time period after Nyk has taken over and his grandmother exiled. She is not about stand for that, and she is plotting to over through Nyk.

This book takes a character from the first books that we loved to hate, and gives them a past that no one could image and turns him into someone that we can understand and want to have a better life.

This story is so complex and the way it has built from the beginning, is amazing. I can actually image this world and it feels good to read again. Everyone in the Sentella has a sordid past, things happened to them that never should have, yet they each have risen from the destruction to become the people they are today, they are not without their scars - some more visable than others, but they all have scars and the way they have turned those scars and their past into a reason to move forward, I love it.

This series is still my hands down favorite series of all time, and I have read a LOT of books!
