There are two truthsThe actual facts.The blind belief of those who manipulate the facts.
The young Opal already knew more than she was supposed to, and within that, she had hope for a future renewed, and she offered the knight some advice, to ease his distress and give him hope.
Opal knew of the visit of Tidguyde, and her meeting with the wounded Gwendolyn. From that day on, she learned more, advising the knight that he should look to the Bowman, for he would herald the start of new days, and she was right. It was the blood in his veins that would bring times of peace and truth, and the final injustices of the past, would be corrected.
Opal told the knight, without revealing the full truth of a new queen who would come to rule. She would be called truth seeker, peace bringer, and as she took the throne, the age of dreams would end, and a new age would begin. To her family and community, she is known as Iona, but to the rest of the realms, she is Violet Stone, Queen of Fae of Earth.
A superb climax to this story arc of three books, that follows the lives of Branna and Ariel, completing the story of before, and now after, the epic fantasy of Heirs to the Kingdom. A brilliantly twisting and compelling tale of life, and the injustice others suffer, leading to the full light of truth. The ultimate Heirs to the Kingdom story, from Robin John Morgan.
