Book I of the Runestone Saga ends with a terrifying reversal. The grandfather who showed Sky how to use the power of the runes to travel back in time, revealed his secret plans—which turn out to involve murder and possession. Sky must now find a way to fight his powerful teacher—for his cousin's very soul.
And so he travels to Corsica, home of his other forbearers, hoping to find some knowledge, some power. The blood feud of vendetta still runs hot in Sky's family, as does the supernatural power of the MazzeriÑthe Corsican dream hunters of death. Sky must again travel back through time, inhabiting the life of Tza, a fierce girl from the 1500s. As he sinks into Tza's mind, Sky wondersÑare all of his ancestors murderers?
Vendetta is a heady, exciting blend of supernatural possibility and historical truth that will leave readers gasping for the final installment of the trilogy.
Traveling to a new country is always difficult, but it is even more so when one is being chased by death spirits and cursed by the blade-wielding women who follow them. Sky March has just found this out the hard way. Of course, Sky is no stranger to either curses or to the dead, not since his grandfather Sigurd showed him that his family possessed the ancient power of the runes. He recently abandoned the maternal side of his family, however, because his grandfather's magical revelation only slightly preceded his possession of Sky's favorite cousin, Kristin. Now, Sky is tracking down his father's lineage in Corsica in the hopes that he will find another set of magic with which to combat Sigurd. When he discovers the mystical powers of the Mazzeri death hunters, he realizes that he has found what he came for...but that the price for his new knowledge is to be drawn into a virulent maelstrom of bloodlines, death, and revenge. Humphrey's dazzling, blood-pounding world of the Mazzeri makes this sequel to The Fetch an undeniably good read. The story itself has obvious overtones of Romeo and Juliet, and those who enjoyed the Matrix trilogy will find themselves on familiar territory with Sky, who must learn to master his spirit self in order to battle the other Mazzeri in their world. Readers also will find, however, that the book does struggle a bit with its place in Humphrey's Runestone Saga. As a sequel, it abandons the ostensible "main" story line for much of the bookmaking the ending seem somewhat forcedand when read on its own, it fails somewhat to convince the reader of the gravity of Sky's mission. For those simply in search of a good page-turner, though,Humphreys does not disappoint.
