This trilogy ender (The Goblin Wood, The Goblin Gate) finds idealistic knight Tobin and hedgewitch Makenna struggling to return to the Realm. Tobin is captured by barbarian invaders while Makenna faces murder charges. Bell's talent for character building along with her illumination of competing factions' motivations are on full display. A thunderous climactic battle brings this series to a highly satisfying close.
