In this second novel in the Last Apprentice spinoff trilogy (A New Darkness), hero Tom dies but is resurrected and prepares with his apprentice (and co-narrator) Jenny for battle with the brutal Kobalos. Series fans will find the usual action and gruesomeness, but there isn't much of a conclusion; the book's main function is apparently to set up the final volume.
