Summary
Aaron Envelar thought a sellsword's life was as dangerous as any life could be.
He was wrong.
Trapped in a conquered city with a reward on their heads, Aaron and his companions must find a way to elude the soldiers pursuing them while he struggles to understand his bond with Co, a magical creature of myth and the Virtue of Compassion. There is power within the bond, power that could help him protect his friends, if he's lucky enough to master it before the darkness within the bond consumes him.
But luck, Aaron knows, is a blade reached for in the dark, the man who grasps it as likely to bleed for his trouble as find the handle.
Stalked by Belgarin's soldiers, Aaron and his companions struggle to find allies before it's too late. But Belgarin's army is not the only danger they face, and even should they escape, even should Aaron master his bond with a legendary creature of magic, they may still fail. They may still die.
For there are other legends in the world, other magic. And not all legends are good ones. Not all magic is benign.

A bit cliche and slower than the first book
i still enjoy Aaron's inget dialogs, but most characters and events in this book are quite flat and boring while Aaron's character is beginning to border on toxic masculinity.

Has potential but it feels dumbed down.
Like a sports car that's handicapped by a speed limiter or weighed down by a trailer. It ploughs on and the scope, range and variety of the story seem LIMITED. I picked it up after finishing the 1st book and prologue but this story....or this author seems reluctant to move on. (like it's on rations)
The main character is TOO THICK at times. Now anyone can miss a hint but in this story it feels unrealistic. Broke my suspension of disbelief. Especially as he is introduced as clever, alert and intelligent.
In a way it's suddenly starting to feel like a Young Adult book. Dim character, slow paced to ration out the saga, unbelievable outcomes....
It's not all bad, but if you like RANGE; variety of scenes, personalities, development, events...then this episode has stepped firmly on the brakes. Unless you like the Young Adult genre.

What happened?
The first book showed so much promise. Now it's full of rambling dialogue and the plot armour is on another level. It baffles me how his dead weight companions are not dropping like flies. And Aaron has turned into season 8 Jon Snow. Will be dropping the series here. Shame.

Death is Not the Story
I had hoped the Aaron Character would improve and act like the mercenary he was supposed to be, but there has been little improvement. Adina also seems to come across as arrogant, naive and quite an irritating character.
Leomin's ramblings seem to take up a lot of space and I am not sure whether they are a plus or negative. Also, I think the narration is a real let down, which, doesn’t help sell the book.
