Connor’s had better days. High Lord Dougal escaped, Alasdair is buried under half a mile of rubble, and Verena is stuck in a coma.
Tomorrow’s not looking any better. The dread queen Dreokt is back from her centuries-long slumber. She’s a barking-mad lunatic, who destroys minds and kills on a whim. She’s more powerful than Connor and Kilian combined, and soon all of Obrion will cower under her rule. How long before she turns her attention to the rest of the continent?
They can’t afford to wait, but attacking her directly is suicide. While Hamish uses sugar-saturated inspiration to invent even deadlier Builder mechanicals, Jean focuses all the resources of her growing school on developing terrifying new weapons.
All Connor has to do is start a revolution. If he can escape the queen's deadly minions and set the Guardians free, they might just save Obrion. Well, what’s left of it. Connor’s never tried breaking an entire nation before.
He’s going to need more bacon.

4,5 stars
Frank has done it again! This story is epic, in word count and the amount of things going on in this book.
Connor is in trouble, he needs to get the best of the best together to fight Queen Dreokt. In the meantime Shona is in perril. Unfortunately she gets to see the power of the Queen from close by. I really liked her in this book. She has a hard time, and has to control herself and her thoughts in order to stay alive. In the end there is only one thing to do: break every rule, push herself to limits she didn't know she'd had.
In fact: Connor faces the same fate, as are his friends.
The beginning of the book is awesomly written, getting a deeper insight into the characters. Fighting the Queen is not an easy matter, Frank Morin takes his time to zoom in on that mission.
In the end everything comes together... -
An epic story
These novels get better every time. There was more humor and some heart beak. I can’t wait for book 6. -
Another great addition to the series. There were a couple of surprises in this volume, some I enjoyed, some not so much. Beyond curious to know what happens in the next one.

Another difficult book to put down. Enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to the next book.
