Robert Douglas, Earl of Dunlorn, returns to Lusara after three years of self imposed exile to find that the Guild has spread its Halls throught the land, bringing fear and tyranny to the people. The usurper King Selar seems oblivious or uncaring, too busy planning to verthrow his brother, king of neighbouring Mayeene. Robert has sworn a vow never to oppose the king, but his brother Finnlay won’t let him return quietly to his lands and abrogate responsibility, for Rovert, like his younger brother, bears a heavy they are sorcerers, and as such outlawed in Lusara. Magic is believed by most to have vanished from the land, but there are a few who still wield the power in secret. And when Robert and his brother rescue Jenn, running in fear of her life from Guildsmen, they discover a new kind of sorcerer, whose powers, though different, may be as great as Robert’s. And with Jenn, come new possibilties . . .
Exile's Return (The Books of Elita, #1) Reviews
-
A well-written, detailed, gripping story with well-rounded characters that succeeds in binding together all its various elements and intrigues. The only thing I didn't like is that the whole book is really only a setup for further books and that nothing much happens.
This was my review of the book in 2002 and in the end it obviously didn't grip me enough as I've never read the rest of the series. -
