Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Enemy, the Ally and the Angel of Darkness have been named .and the prophecy of the Key is coming to pass. The Enemy is Robert Douglas, banished because he will neither bow to the will of the ruling council nor use his sorcerous powers to overthrow the usurper King Selar. The Ally is Jenn, now r…eturned to her family and learning to live the life of a noblewoman, whilst using her own powers secretly to help those disobeying the Guide's punitive new laws. The Angel of Darkness masquerades an Alderman, using his position close to the king to foment his own dastardly plans for Lusara. And the Enemy, the Ally and the Angel of Darkness must each face their own greatest weaknesses. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Jacoby's fantasy sequence, the Books of Elita, has an attractive sense of the difficulties of reclaiming lost knowledge and of the sheer fag of getting around a medieval landscape on horseback and on foot. She neatly balances her hero's sense of honour--he has sworn not to oppose a foreign usurper--and…his sense of duty to oppressed people; Robert has also to cope with the problems of massive sorcerous power and the temptations to use it. Meanwhile, the usurper Selah constantly pushes his luck and others' loyalty; the young witch Jenn explores her powers, and the hidden villain, Nash, the King's smiling confidant, who is older than he looks, pursues his own agendas and desires. Jacoby has a good eye for the physicalities of her set pieces--sieges, escapes, sorcerous duels--but is also sensitive to emotions, particularly those of an older generation who feel betrayed by children with radically different values and priorities. This is a world in which there are no good choices and in which the most overwhelming presence is that of regret; for reasons that the characters will never know, an earlier generation largely abandoned magic and the knowledge of magic in the false belief that this would solve the world's problems. --Roz Kaveney. 478 pages.
