cted figure among the elves. As humans began to settle in the area, Baureble made peace with them and told the settlers what they must do be welcomed by the elves in the forest. A few groups of humans emerged from their farms and united to become a nation. Later, the land became governed by a wise man known as Azoun and befriended Baureble. With his new friend Baureble, Azoun raised a kingdom united under him. With each generation from Azouns family, the country became larger and more powerfulWizards who descended from the powerful wizard Baurable also guided each generation of Kings. Each generation faced some type of realm shaking tribulation and each time, the kingdom became stronger. In 1369 DR, King Azoun IV became very ill fighting some type of clockwork beast. During this, Vangerdahast tricked the unfaithful into being openly unfaithful therefore when the King was better, he could do justice to the land. Along with the unfaithful was the noble of blood, Anudar Bleth. Anudar used his charms to get nearer to the throne and used the princess for secret information. In the end, Anudar and the unfaithful were rooted out by decree of the recovered King and the princess found what she lacked in character.I think that this book was a very good book and that the writing style was very interesting. The thing that I thought was interesting was how the author weaved what happened in the past with the present. The present day characters also seemed to tie in with people from the past, even their punishments seemed quite similar. I think the medieval setting and the intricate plot helped create a sense of realism. The ending is indescribable, everything comes together in one chapter. The reader find out which people were innocent and which people were unloyal. There is nothing in this book that I would have changed because it was very interesting....
