Nomadic warrior Shannivar of the Azkhantia Steppe joined exiled
Prince Zevaron of Meklavar, as each shared in common a loathing of Cinath and the
Gelon Empire after this vile ruler led his forces in the violent destruction
and brutal annexation of their respective nations. On their quest to defeat the seemingly
invincible Gelon Empire, they fell in love (see Shannivar: The Seven-Petaled
Shield).
Although Shannivar prefers to focus (with her beloved at her side)
on destroying the Gelon Empire, she must go it alone ever since Fire and Ice
liberated from a Far North incarceration turned Zevaron into a minion. Thus while Zevaron loses focus of the bigger
menace by “passionately” concentrating on killing Cinath for murdering his
mother and their people, Shannivar confronts Fire and Ice before this
malevolence devastates the world in its image.
The third Seven-Petaled Shield fantasy is an exciting fast-paced
thriller as the loving partnership appears dead at a critical time when the
protagonists need each other.
Fast-paced, series fans will relish this apparent final Good and Evil
entry that engagingly ties up the major subplots.
