Series: Insight #3

Synopsis:

There is an ominous darkness; one that is so dense and mind-numbing that you can feel the chills race across your skin as the energy of its hatred hovers near you. They thought that it was over… that he was dead… they never imagined that he was more powerful dead than he ever was alive.

The dark dimension Esterious is on the brink of war, the victory Willow had a few days ago is nothing more than a vague memory. With each thought she has, she fights the images of Drake’s dark eyes and his words… his promises. Doubt seeps into her soul as she faces what could be the hardest battle she has faced so far.

Venus is meant to be the planet of love and peace… but when it falls into retrograde its influence changes. Matters of past relationships will surface, choices will be made with the mind and not the heart and gateways to an evil that cannot be fathomed will open. Willow and Landen’s only defense is to hide their family away, and lock themselves in the palace that was once ruled by Donalt.

The energy is heavy and dark within its walls…there is a presence that lingers and strikes at will. Cruel illusions are placed before Willow, but that is not even the hardest part… what is hard is standing in a room with Drake and Landen and listening to others tell you of lives that you cannot recall… for them to tell you when and how you are going to die.

Every prediction and theory is about to be proven wrong… and the choice before Willow’s heart holds the lives of millions at stake. The question is: will she be able to see through the illusions before her and make a choice… she can live with?
 

Okay, if I haven't told you...and I have - These Books are Phenomenal. And now - well, let's just say the story is getting really interesting. Drake has been lied to, deceived, and manipulated by the only family he has ever known and by everyone around him. He has been raised to to rule Esterious when Donalt dies. He believes he will do this with Willow at his side, or not. Centuries ago, many spells and machinations were put into to place by people claiming they were only protecting him and Willow. 

This trial revolves around Willow's nineteenth birthday; the stars and the scrolls predict this much. The scrolls tell them much more, like when every trial will take place. Convenient except for the fact that they don't tell them what the trial will consist of. Once Perodine realizes what has happened, she knows Donalt knew more than he ever let on. He "weaved his intentions alongside Drake, hiding himself." What does this mean? That Donalt is a force to be reckoned with. Drake has been played just like Willow and Landen. None of this mess is truly his fault.

The trial that Venus presents will force Willow to choose between Landen and Drake. She will have to kill one of them. Everyone is hoping for Drake...not for the reason you think. Landen has discovered he is a powerful healer and would be able to bring Drake back, if need be. But, as you well know...nothing is ever that easy.

Seeing Landen, Willow, and Drake work together brought joy to my heart...even if it was a forced truce. With every book I learn a little bit more about Drake and fall a little bit more in love with him. Don't get me wrong...I believe with all my heart that Landen and Willow belong together; I just hope Drake will be able to find a true love of his own. The end of the book brought tears to my eyes...you will have to read it to find out why.
