Quillan is a territory on the verge of destruction. The people have lost control of their own future and must struggle simple to survive.

Should be a review not a review (albiet it a nice one :-)):
A very good and enjoyable book. I have read almost all of the pendragon books myself. I just need to read 8,9 and 10. But this book was really good. Through the diversions and trickasey, this is a must read novel. With surprising double crossings and new characters, fans will be shocked with this new installment to the series (even through it's not that new).
