Product Information

That’s how I knew Relos Var was a wizard. He wasn’t wearing any obvious talisman, but that aura was terrifying. I’d never seen an imprint so strong before, nor an aura stamped so hard, sharp, and crisp.* It would be a mistake,' Therin said as he gazed out over the Blue Palace, 'to think of House D'Mon as a family. We are not.'" [24]

If you were to ask me today if there was a single action, one event, that might have changed the course of what followed, I will unfailingly point to this: the day you broke into that Kazivar House and let curiosity bid you stay, when a wiser man would have fled." [2] Members of the royal family are abusive and manipulative as they lie and kill to get their way. Nevertheless, Kihrin endures the tribulations and occasionally brawls his way out of trouble. The youngster transitions from the life of a juvenile thief to a member of the royal family and a slave in a riveting tale of mixed fortunes. He encounters countless challenges, dragons, heartbreak, gods, and demons.This angers Darzin greatly, but causes Lady Miya to laugh and Therin and the rest to join her, stating that it proved Kihrin was a D'Mon. Now even more angry Darzin sends Kihrin off to his room. As Kihrin storms away, Darzin follows him and punches him several times in the hall. Kihrin grabs a vase to fend off a third punch which Darzin breaks, and Darzin accuses him of baiting him, pulling out a knife. Darzin and Kihrin wrestle before Kihrin manages to slip away and into a side room where, to Darzin's eyes, he seems to have climbed down a window (but has really hiding invisibly). Therin enters and states Darzin can not abuse Kihrin or else, which causes Darzin to threaten Therin and confront him about Pedron. Therin states he has nothing to hide, as he does not care, but that he is not going to hide Darzin again like he did in the Affair of the Voices. Darzin states he should have killed "'that slut myself when I realized she was pregnant.'" causing Therin to slap him and send him away. [30] After he's gone and Therin pours a drink, he calls Kihrin out from hiding, revealing how he knew he was there. HAIL TO THE, LAWBREAKER...HAIL TO THEE, THIEF OF SOULS...HAIL TO THEE, PRINCE OF SWORDS...LONG DID I SEARCH FOR THE LION, BUT NOW I HAVE FOUND THE HAWK.'" [13]

Kihrin then questions Therin on the Affair of the Voices, where Therin reveals it was an attempt to change the status quo of rule coming by way of the Council of Voices rather than Court of Gems (which was a curse put in place at the death of Emperor Simillion) due to belief in a prophecy. Kihrin quotes the lines from Pedron's painting, and Therin reveals Pedron was the thief (having grown up in the Lower Circle, starting the Shadowdancers, and being reclaimed), and Gadrith D'Lorus was the wizard, being helped by Darzin. Kihrin then confronts him about when Therin will stand up to Darzin, accusing him of being the reason Darzin is what he is, before storming out. That said, the plot between all sections is seamless and brilliantly put together. Every time I thought I saw a plot hole, it was neatly filled with information I hadn't even realized was relevant.
