Price $40.99 Hardcover, $31.49 Paperback
A full-bodied cast, imaginative worldbuilding, and enjoyably dense plot elevate Gateley’s final installment in The Lost Wells Trilogy. Still reeling from the treachery of their once-trusted ally Ronan, Julia and Dom are trying to navigate the wilderness of British Columbia, and striving to regroup their fragmented coalition of seers, magicians, and ancient orders. Their mission is simple: to confront Cassius and thwart his malevolent schemes. With a new prophecy guiding their path, the pair embark on a quest for an ancient weapon, holding onto hope for redemption in their final stand against the encroaching darkness. Will they succeed?
Gateley’s skillful fusion of ancient history with contemporary action is accentuated by the enhanced depth in characterizations and interpersonal dynamics. At the heart of this tale of love, heroism, and struggle against darkness, is the characters’ intricate interpersonal dynamic, notably between Julia and Dom, whose relationship is tested to its limits by the shattering betrayal of Ronan. Gateley deftly navigates the complexities of these relationships, exploring the depths of trust, loyalty, and forgiveness. Action-packed battles unfold as Dom and allies face Cassius’s relentless army. An adrenaline-charged and perfectly paced conclusion to an exciting series. Lovers of high fantasy will want to take a look.
