Another good book, December 13, 2002
Reviewer: Myra Schjelderup "Ignolopi" (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)

This book is about the heir to the throne of Valdemar, Elspeth, and a Hawkbrother, Darkwind.
Elspeth wanted to go find mages for Valdemar, which was being attacked by a neighboring kingdom (though he hadn't sent any more major attacks since `By the sword'). So, she goes to find mages, and to get trained herself (they find she has a major mage gift), only with her friend Skif and their Companions.
Darkwind is a scout for the Hawkbrothers, who used to be a mage. When they do meet, (after a while) they, Nyara (Falconsbane's daughter who hates him), and two grown griffins and their litter of three, not to mention the magic sword Need that went with Elspeth) get attacked by an evil (aren't all blood mages?) blood mage, Falconsbane. And they get whole new set of problems...
