"Is that why we mourn so much in death, for the unsaid word in life? Is that why we can't let go, for misplaced promises and the lost hours that we try to grab when it's all too late?
Embedded in this beautiful story is a profound exploration of grief and loss, and the struggle that humans have in resolving their emotions and experiences when they confront the inevitable changes that accompany the passing of someone they have loved and valued.
At more than one point in the narrative, the reader is compelled to consider those soul-searching questions again as the overwhelming power of grief resonates deeply within both the characters and the reader.
It is a moving and at times heart-wrenching story of coming of age and fulfilling destiny by making the right decisions, not just for oneself but also for the society in which one lives.
The strands of different characters' stories are drawn together in this book, having been interwoven and overlaid throughout the series so far. Overall, the series provides a rich and broad tapestry of narrative that blends earthen tones with royal purples and other vivid colours and textures.
When one of the characters reflects on the events and challenges of the past, and the things he has learned about society and humanity, he says "I personally can't see a successful future where one person thinks they are better than another person." This is where the relevance of this series for each of us is really driven home: when we treat one another as equals, we are all better off, both individually and collectively.
The third in Turner's 'KIngdom of Durundal' series, 'A Leopard In The Mist' brings this excellent trilogy of books (thus far) full circle, providing unity and resolutions not only for its own part of the story, but also for the first two books in this excellent series.
I can not recommend this book, or the series to which it belongs, more highly.

HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM
There are none who can say with certain knowledge when the Kingdom of Durundal began, yet this has not stopped the dragons, the kings, the sorcerers and other wise-ones from seeking the answer. What we do know is that dragons ruled supreme and considered by many to be the Dawn of Time.
This was a time when Elves, Dragons, Humans and Forest Folk were all at peace and lived in harmony—but in time, something changed.
Power and Ambition.
The Fates stepped in with a prophecy; a prophecy that proclaimed a 'chosen one' would rule the kingdoms with knowledge and wisdom and bring peace to the realm. However, the Dark Lord in his rage and eternal damnation vowed he would do everything in his power to stop it.
And so it was—the Dark Lord became unstoppable as his Disciples of Death searched out the chosen one. Barbaric! Uncivilised! Numerous! It is said that the earth cried blood and the barren soil left behind bore no fruit. The dragons disappeared, the Elves retreated, the Forest Folk went underground. Hearts were broken, loved-ones were lost, thrones were burned, and the kingdoms were in turmoil. Many said that darkness would prevail and man would never be understanding of acceptance and remain beyond all evil.
Yet—there was hope. The Prophecy was beginning to unfold; and with it came the Age of Heroes.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Durundal.
About the author
An Epic Medieval-Styled Fantasy For The Ages!
Overview: Clan Head and father-to-be, Namir, is betrayed and imprisoned when he accepts an olive branch and travels to Ataxata to sign a peace treaty. Now his kingly brother, along with their people, will risk everything in a race against time to save the chieftain and preserve their legacy. Dynamic characters and a riveting plotline come together seamlessly in S.E. Turner’s epic medieval fantasy, “A Leopard in the Mist” as one brother sets out to rescue his sibling from a power-mad emperor bent on reclaiming his lost empire. Effective writing, relatable characters, fascinating world-building, and an exciting plotline are the hallmarks of Turner’s story. There are romances that will sweep you off your feet, betrayals that are as shocking as they are raw, and familial ties that are surprisingly strong despite years of isolation. In “A Leopard in the Mist”, readers will find themselves falling in love with these characters—especially the strong female leads—and becoming part of the story as they develop a close personal connection and affinity for certain protagonists while experiencing a great revulsion for those who willingly sink into darkness and depravity. Despite the fact that I had not had the opportunity to read either of the prior chapters in the Kingdom of Durundal Series, I found this third book, “A Leopard in the Mist”, made for an excellent standalone read. The author effectively reintroduces her characters in this continuing saga, and in case there’s still any confusion about who’s who, she provides a roster—as well as other helpful materials—as a reference point at the back of the book.
