I have no intention of giving anything away or revealing the secrets and surprises that ran through all three books. This was a wonderful series filled with amazing characters and the books must be read in order. Even though many of the secrets were revealed in the last book I will not give them away because they are too important and should be read first hand. I read the first two books in one day and this one in one day so that is an indication of how much I loved them.
