==Plot summary== |
|
|
|
|
|
Two years have passed since The Icemark defeated The Polypontian Empire in ]. This has caused the Ploypontians to break up and many civil wars have started to take their place |
|
|
With the defeat of the Polypontians at the end of the second book, there is now another enemy of the Icemark. That settles on Erinor of Artemision and her dinosaur cavalry of Tri-horns, creatures described to look like warrior tricaratops, and Oskan's father Cronus, his Ice Demons and his grandaughter, Medea. Erinor's dinosaur cavalry move in on what remains of the Polypontian Empire, fully intending to move on to the Icemark afterwards and to murder anyone that has a bloodline containing that of the northern Holypolitan. Responding to a plea for help from the Empire, a reluctant Thirrin leads her army into the heart of what was once enemy territory in order to prevent them from invading Icemark as well. Thirrin's strong predjudice against the Polypontians is transformed upon meeting their emperor, who is only a young boy, not yet in his teens, and she realises that everything she hated about their Empire came from the Bellorum clan. However, by invading the Empire to confront Erinor, the Icemark is left open for an invasion from the Darkness (Cronus and his ice demons). While Icemark and their allies are gone, oblivious to the attack, the Vampire Queen defend icemark in hopes of being given a soul, as her husband was for loving her. When the other vampires hear the undead may have souls, they are willing to sacrafice themselves for the Icemark, and therefore able to delay Medea and Cornos. Pious, an imp that has learned the power of friendship and love, is able to give Oskan and Thirrin the warning of the attack after they have defeated Erinor and her armies. Oskan, entrust with the until that point secret knowledge that says that Dark Adepts cannot kill the ones they love without dying, defeats Cronus and Medea, though at the cost of his own life. |
