Bound in Shadows is the third (and final) book in The Shadows Trilogy by Jennifer St. Clair. The story picks up immediately after the end of the second book, Lost in Shadows. Nicodemus is left for dead at the castle in Leysan, the kingdom that was stolen by Terrin from the rightful heir. Skade and Michael are within the safe confines of Espen’s home. Terrin has fled. But rumors abound in the Seven Kingdoms. The Queen of Iomar, Skade, is missing. Kyne, the sister of the Queen of Severin, is sent to Leysan to investigate what has happened. She was formerly Terrin’s prisoner at Leysan and is reluctant to return. What she finds there only confirms her suspicions about Terrin. Will Terrin finally succeed in his plans to rule the Seven Kingdoms?
Ms. St. Clair wraps up her trilogy with another fact paced story. Once again we move from place to place and character to character as the story inexorably moves toward its final moments, without giving away what will happen. Terrin is truly well-drawn as are those fighting against him. This exciting story held my interest to the last word. I give Bound in Shadows 4 Tombstones.
Book Excerpt: “Nicodemus opened his eyes. For a moment he could not remember why he stared out from a strange mirror at such terrible destruction; then memories started to trickle forth into his mind. Skade. Espen. Michael. Terrin escaping. Dying. He touched his chest and saw his body, lying forlorn and forgotten in the midst of debris. They had left it behind, of course–the survivors were more important–but he still felt a bit lost that they had left him behind. How would he go to his Queen, when he did not know where Espen lived? He thought he might be able to follow the portal, if Skade had not set barriers that kept him trapped in this mirror. He doubted she’d had time to form anything in the way of a cage; Terrin’s spell had eaten her strength even as she saved his life one more time. Of course, she could be dead already, and perhaps Espen would never return for him. Perhaps he would haunt Leysan’s halls forever, or until Teluride returned as its King.”
