Resumen del Editor

Sent on an impossible mission by Kingfountain's ruler into the heart of the enemy's capital as two mighty kingdoms prepare for war, Ankarette Tryneowy must divine the location of a magical sword, perhaps their key to victory. What she finds is the truth - one she could never have foreseen.

Searching for Firebos, the sword of ancient kings, is no simple task. It disappeared after one of the most powerful Fountain-blessed figures, the Maid of Donremy, used it in battle, and no one - except perhaps the Maid's dearest friend, the Duke of La Marche - knows its whereabouts. But when Ankarette finds the aging duke in his prison cell and hears the mystery he unveils, her mission becomes more perilous than she could have possibly imagined.

lovely tie in

loved it. thoroughly tied the entire series together. Completely recommend this series to any one.

another great story

a great way to see the back story that leads to the rest of the king fountain series. love Kate Rudd's narration as always!

Pulls at the heart strings

I loved this book. It is written from the Maid's perspective. I couldn't stop listening. I listened every chance I got and read when I couldn't listen.

very much enjoyed it

had allot of "Joan of Arc" resemblance to it in the story of the Maid. looking forward to staying the next book!

Great Story Line

I really like having the background on so many of the characters. I don't know that I would have had the same connection with some of the characters if I had not listened to the prequels first. Great way to start this series!

excellent!!

loved this story! first book by this author...I wasn't disappointed! Definitely will read/listen to more by this author. narrative was excellent and engaging!

My favorite book so far

I have read almost all of Jeff Wheeler’s books. This was my favorite by far. Another great read by Jeff Wheeler!

This whole series has been very enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone.

I truly enjoyed this book, it held flowers in gaps of his other books and was a great fill in . Helped to further understand his other works. Great book.

So so

Not bad- as a stand alone story not my favorite but as apart of the series and a prequel to the other phenomenal books, it was great! Kate Rudd was fantastic as usual, and the story keeps you thinking, but in my opinion not as good as the other books. Took me awhile to get into it, but by the end it had me on my toes! Would recommend reading this after the first three books and before the last three. Loved hearing the full story of the maid!!! The Owen trilogy is still my favorite but Jeff wheeler does a great job of keeping the story fresh and the characters new. On the must read list for sure!!!

Great prequel

This was a nice prequel about the Maid of Donremy. It had a bit of a rough start by introducing a lot of characters who I neither knew nor cared about. However, once I got into the book, I found the two main characters (Alan and Jenette) to be pretty interesting and I found the story pretty compelling. It didn't really center on Ankarette at all...she was merely a plot device to let Alan tell his story. The book centered a lot on the sacrifices of following the fountain and giving up one's own desires. There is a lot of parallel here with many religions. The end of course had both good and bad fates for both characters, and a few surprises despite knowing the ultimate fate mentioned in the later books. It did well to set up everything up for the rest of the series and was well worth it.
