Publisher's Synopsis
Infused with folk lore magic and history, The Firebird's Vengeance is the stunning conclusion to the Isavalta trilogy, from major new fantasy author Sarah Zettel. 'You will pay for this, screamed the Firebird. Life and blood and realm I will have from you. You will pay with your whole life for this act!' With the aid of the Sorcerer Avanasy, Empress Medoean triumphed in caging the terrible firebird, conjured and set loose upon her people by the Nine Elders of the Hung-Tse Empire. But the safety of her kingdom was not without its price; the cage, wrought with gold, magic and blood demanded a sacrifice, a price paid by her loyal sorcerer. Ingrid, Avanasy's lover is returned to Sand Island and dies giving birth to Avanasy's child. However, the child survives and in book one, Sorcerer's Treason Bridget Lederle is drawn into her father's world, to continue her father's legacy and aid Medeoan once more in the containment of the Firebird. The cage is weakening as it feeds on the lifeforce of the prematurely aging Empress.;But Medeoan's messenger and new sorcerer, Kalami, has ambitions that don't include the well-being of Medoean's empire as he works for a new and more frightening power, and although Brigdet finally defeats him, the firebird is set free once more.
