This third book picked up where it ended on the second book.  It entailed the life of Will and Evanlyn as slaves in Skandia, and the journey of Halt and Horace upon rescuing Will and Evanlyn.  There were times that my heart was in my heart due to the suspense on Will and Evanlyns escape from slavery.  I got a little frustrated when the chapters on Halt and Horace were longer than Will and Evanlyn.  I guessed the author was illustrating the prime of Horace in battle while accompanying Halt to rescue his lost apprentice, Will.  The book was a page-turner and an easy read.  Its suitable for young readers.  The plot was stirring and entertaining.  I felt like I was transported back in time.
