Plague has ravaged the prestigious King's Cavalla of Gernia, decimating the ranks of both cadets and instructors. Yet Nevare Burvelle has made an astonishingly robust recovery, defeating his sworn nemesis while in the throes of the disease and freeing himselfhe believesfrom the Speck magic that infected him. And now he is journeying home to Widevale, anticipating a tender reunion with his beautiful fiance, Carsina, and a bright future as a commissioned officer. But there is no haven in the bosom of his kinfolk, for his nights are haunted by grim visions of treacheryand his days are tormented by a strange side-effect of the plague that shames his family and repulses the lady of his heart. And as the still-potent magic in his blood roars to life, Nevare realizes a terrible truth: that the enemy who seeks to destroy everything he loves dwells perhaps not without but within him.

While not much happening, and the main character dragging his feet the whole time, it was still very engaging I could not put the book down even if I wasn‘t always liking the direction it was going. I don‘t think I would recommend this series to people unless you are big fans of Robin Hobbs writing style.

⭐⭐⭐
Continuing the series as I still want to know what happens but struggling through it a bit. Not sure how I feel about the story premise at this point but the execution remains just ok.

Buster just wonders when it's time to go out. It's currently 11° here so I'm not anxious to leave my electric throw as yet.
