Courage of Falcons

In the conclusion to this highly praised series, the Final Battle ensues between the Falcons, a band of fugitive wizards committed to peace, and the Dragons, the soul-devouring necromancers wielding the enormous power of black magic. Aided by the long-banished Scarred, the unstoppable army is bent on conquest. Meanwhile, heroes Kait Galweigh and Ry Sabir struggle to destroy the sorcerer Luercas in a new Mirror of the Dead, before he destroys them -- and all of Iberia -- forever.

The Falcons, a group of renegade practitioners of forbidden magics, possess the knowledge to rid their land of the tyrannical necromancers that have the ability to devour souls. If Ry Sabir and Kait Galweigh can destroy the artifact known as the Mirror of Souls, they can overcome the enemy of their landDbut if they do so, they leave themselves open to attack from a greater evil. Lisle's conclusion to her rousing fantasy epic that began with Diplomacy of Wolves and continued with Vengeance of Dragons brings her heroes face to face with difficult choices that mirror their own souls' deepest qualities. A good choice for most fantasy collections, particularly in libraries where the series has a following.

Holly Lisle has been doing the pro novelist gig since 1992.  Prior to that, she was an on-again, off-again missionaries' kid, high-school entrepreneur, and once past graduation, a newspaper ad rep, a sign-painter/commercial artist, the "window girl" at a McDonald's, a guitar teacher for absolute beginners, a singer at local restaurants, and because all of those together paid starvation wages, she went to nursing school the next year, and two years later was an RN.

For ten years.  

She paid off her student loan the same year she got her first three-book contract, and...well...she's been writing for her supper ever since.

She is active online, providing courses teaching what she has discovered about writing fiction as well as maintaining her own weblog and website, HollyLisle.com. And with more than a million books in print via commercial publishers, she has now moved to publishing herself.
