Brock, now Citizen Brock, despite his defeat by royalty, is determined to lead the people into a new age of prosperity and wisdom. Orso is arrested by the new regime, whilst the recently defeated Young Lion and his wife are regarded as heroes, of a sort. Suddenly the expected situations are reversed. The Breakers and Burners have continued their determination to break free of their oppressive work conditions and lifestyle and are now destroying the city and their mechanical places of work. The old order – the Monarchy – is removed and replaced by the new order. The Great Change is happening, with the common people revolting. However, instead of travelling home to a triumphant crowd, Orso finds himself arriving into the middle of a riot. With the Young Lion and his pregnant wife Savine captured, Orso expects a return to past glories. King Orso returns to Adua after defeating the now slightly-dismembered Leo de Brock. We begin this book pretty much where Book Two finished. (And please note, as this is a review of the third book, there are spoilers below of the second book, The Trouble With Peace (reviewed HERE.) And as this is the third book in a trilogy, this is not the place to start. And so to the third book in this Trilogy, what is being labelled as “The Final” Age of Madness novel.
