Canticle, Book # 2 in the Psalms of Isaak series, opens as Lord Rudolfo and Jin Li Tam are expecting their first child. When guests attending The Firstborn Feast, held to celebrate the impending birth, are ruthlessly attacked by blood magieked soldiers, the Ninefold Forest House realizes that the happenings at Windwir are not yet over. Rudolfo faces a crisis when his son is born sickly and must choose between fighting the unseen enemy and finding Vlad Li Tam, whose daughter alone may know a cure. Meanwhile, Neb finds himself on a journey of pursuit, in search of a metal man who calls himself 'Charles' and Winters takes her rightful place as queen of the Marshers only to find that place threatened by someone calling herself Queen Winteria.
Ken Scholes weaves a spellbinding tale of love and intrigue. Canticle is even better than its predecessor Lamentation, Schole's stunning debut novel. I loved this book and hated to see it end. I cannot wait to read Antiphon, the third book is Schole's series.
