The Gerfauts’ schemes have born fruit. Siobhán drank the blood of Brigga the Witch, and evil has taken hold of her. Once a wise and generous ruler, she has become merciless, and is entirely devoted to Lady Gerfaut’s son, whom she soon marries. Her own mother, Lady O’Mara, isn’t invited to the wedding, and Séamus, her protector, is powerless to help. The last glimmer of hope lies with Kyle of Klanach and his unwavering love and loyalty...

Well, this volume comes to me out of the blue as I've not seen the third volume.  However, you can find reviews for 1 and 2 here:

I don't get all the Cinebook titles so I'm guessing that as vol.3 was titled Lady Gerfaut, the story from that leads into this one?

The story is quite good, though I'm missing a lot set up by the previous volume.  There are twists and turns and some very nice characterisation -but Dufaux is a good writer after all so that shouldn't be unexpected.

Rosinski delivers great art. Get pass the colouring (by Graza) and you can see Rosinki's use of stipling and other techniques that if used too heavily would swamp the colour.  The balance is just right.

I can't write too much as it might spoil something set up in volume 3 so I try to avoid that type of thing. You can be guaranteed a great story and great art and it is well worth investing in the first two volumes and seeing what you think!
