My Thoughts and Summary:
Donovan is working with Malcom, to follow the sidhe music stolen by a witch.  To find her, the sidhe the wizards took and are draining.  Being a Bloodhound Malcolm can track magic in different ways and is doing so now with direction from Donovan.  Finding this witch left Ireland to return to the wizards home at Isle of Man, Donovan takes Tiernan as the young earthborn sidhe aren't ready to leave their protected land or tangle with wizards.  The clues to the Mounds fall the rescued sidhe brings to Donovan will be shocking!

I was a little unsure in the beginning what was happening and how it would work with the world we've already seen, but two chapters in I was drawn to know what the pieces where and how they connected to the world on land as apposed to in the Mounds.  Knowing what I've learned of the Mounds and pieces through out, this was great to see the fey and Sidhe learn to adapt.

We see Donovan match up against a wizard.  The wizard element and danger is coming into play more as they are always looking and stealing sidhe and fey for their magic.  We see the wizards are strengthening as the fey, as a whole, are weakening.

Malcolm learns more magic in himself!  Great Malcolm growth and learning here.  He's coming to be more powerful than expected by readers, but it seems Donovan had an idea and hopes that are coming to surface with Malcolm.  Malcolm's becoming a masterpiece with his magic.  So much here he doesn't even know as he doesn't know the pieces we do of the ancient sidhe and history in the Mounds of his kind.  And the secrets!  Oh, the secrets...

The secret's we learn of the fall of the Mounds!  Who! How! Why! Hahaha!  I had a feeling and sooo wanted to know.  This one brings that out for us.  Missing pieces of the starts of all this are here.

We still have more to learn as this places the ruins Lugh is looking for into light as well.  And Malcolm seems to be a crucial piece to the puzzle, but will he hold together to do it?  This book has brought more to the world of Sidhe on the land and I look forward to learning more of the adaptations to come.
