Their journey to Merakh should have made Errol and his companions heroes of the realm. Instead, much is changed on their return. In the wake of the king’s death, Duke Weir is ruling the country–and his intentions are to marry Adora to bring an heir.With Errol and the others imprisoned and the identity of the rightful heir to the throne still hidden in secrecy, Illustra is on the verge of civil war–and at growing risk from the armies of Merakh and Morgol.
A dangerous mission to free Errol succeeds, but the dangers facing the kingdom are mounting with every passing moment. The barrier has fallen, ferals are swarming toward the land, and their enemies draw near. Will the revelation of Illustra’s next true king come in time or will all be lost?

This book is the epic conclusion to the Staff and the Sword series. Truths before undefinedand even some thought knownare blurred before they are redefined in the finishing novel A Draw of Kings. Who is Errol? Who Liam? You thought you knew? Think again. Having read A Cast of Stones as well as The Heros Lot I thought I would be prepared for everything A Draw of Kings had to say. After all, what more was there to say? It seemed to me every hidden truth was revealed in the second novel. However,You must read 'A Cast of Stones' and 'The Hero's Lot' before this final book of the trilogy. This review includes a few spoilers from those first two books.It's exciting to see all the loose ends tied up. The huge war, precipitated by King Rodran's death, is inevitable. The need for a new king is desperate, but Luis' carved lots still refuse to cooperate and give a straight answer of either Liam or Errol. This time, we have three points of view to follow, Errol's, Martin's and Adora's. Things

Luis had not been able to cast a conclusive draw to indicate who should be soteregia. With no successor named, Lord Weir assumes the throne--buying out, bullying or killing anyone who would not agree to confirm his right to
The kingdom of Illustra is faced by a two-front war. Or a three-front war. It depends at how many different points the foreign hordes can force their way into the country. Illustra needs to find their soteregia, their savior-king. Then they will crown him. Then he will go and fight for them.Then he will die, and save them.Every time they cast the lots to find the savior-king, the lots say Errol and Liam, each name as many times as the other. So Illustra prepares for war, and goes out to battle,
I was breathless until the end!
I really liked the first book in this series, but each sequel ends up feeling like the author yanked you away from the path that he was on and jumped the tracks onto a significantly different kind of story. In the first you're expecting political wrangling between church and an aging king with no heir, and then they introduce a mad genius who has gone evil, which is cool except the second book becomes all about chasing the mad genius off into another kingdom entirely.The second book starts off
