Snow shrouds Venice in cold darkness, ice fills the canals, and a thousand ghosts pluck at the shadow's edge. A violent attack on Lady Giulietta's son forces Tycho from his new-found happiness and back into the treacherous intrigue of the court. For Giulietta's sake he would go to the world's end to track down those responsible. As Venice teeters on the brink of civil war, its warring families prepare to discover who is a player and who a pawn in the coming struggle for power. The Exiled Blade is the climatic finale to Tycho's story.
When I started reading I was pleasantly surprised. I started with the third book of this trilogy and the overview on the back gave no clue of what was in store for the reader so when I got only a short way in I got my first insight to a bit of the magic that I long for in all my reading. The plot (as I missed and two) wasn't immediately clear so my second insight was there was going to be intrigue which is my other longing for a book. Then the author took me on a journey that I could not resist. Thru this journey I was captured and not let go until the end. This was one book I could not put down. Fully defined characters, great plot, imaginative country using a real place and satisfying ending. (So now I'm totally compelled to get the first and second books)
