After killing one of their own, Elva finds herself running from the Tillaman warriors who are now out for blood. Yet when she hides upon the moors, she is abducted by Piskies who whisk her off to their embattled kingdom in the Black Wood. Hailing her as their queen and savior, the Piskies present her to their king with the hope to end their civil war. But the king has other ideas. He condemns her to an imprisonment which can only end in her death. Elva foils the king's plan and escapes the Black Wood, followed by a small gathering of loyal Piskies. Though as her reign begins, a siren call from the mountain of Skur soon lures her to the ancient realm of the dragon--a journey which not only takes her to the edge of the netherworld, but gives her the power to make one life-changing wish. A wish her new husband comes to dread. The Legacy of Skur, Volume Two continues this dark fantasy tale of Elva's adventures as she crosses through complex junctures of loyalty, duty, and love--all under the surreptitious guidance of the ever-watchful Creators whose game for world dominance will rise to a new level. Are the players up to the challenge?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Specializing in fiction that explores the darker side of human nature, award-winning author L.F. Falconer's powerful, page-turning style has been consistently praised as both "gripping" and "captivating." Skillful character-based artistry fuses magic and the supernatural with reality to bring her audience a unique reading experience.

When she wants to relax, Falconer enjoys gardening (a true desert challenge), oil painting, and exploring the Nevada desert and old mining camps.

"I've always found magic in the written word. When I write, I don't know that I embrace any particular genre. If I get caught in an inspiration, I tend to just run with it. To me, a great story is all about the characters. I love to read for character, and I believe I write that way, too."

It’s a galaxy bursting with stars working to outshine one another ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

So, I have reviewed the first two books in this series, though to call it a series is rather trite—it’s much more than a series, it’s a galaxy bursting with stars working to outshine one another, as they’re held together in the most intense of gravitational forces. (It’s easy to fall into an overwhelming bout of poetic metaphors when writing about anything Falconer has written—yes, she’s that good). I don’t know where to begin reviewing this second volume, to be honest. I feel as though I’ve cheated the writer, having paid a small amount for the massive and prolonged state of entertainment—joy and sadness—she’s given me. This “story,” which is too rich to describe, is more than satisfying. And yet, I am sad it is over. I want to continue living in the world she’s built, loving the characters she’s forced on me, as well as unravel the frame tale that keeps me wondering and thinking and excited for more. But alas I’m out of luck, unless there’s another volume in the works? Or perhaps a second prelude? Please, Goddess Falconer, give us another …

The beauty of the world, aside from everything I’ve gushed about in my reviews of the other two tomes in the Skur galaxy, is the origin story that this whole, entire project actually is. It parades as literary fantasy—which it is—but it’s also delving into the realms of beginnings, the likes of which Ovid would admire. Falconer’s world of Skur is a fetching narrative of the origin of elves, essentially. And for this, she is just as magical as the beauties she brings forth with the burgeoning little colony of crossbreeds she births into being. I can’t say more—I simply can’t. This world has nocked my bow and has my arrow strung back too tight to release. In other words, I’m speechless. Read this series. It will teach you a thing or two about genre, I’ve no doubt. And for those of you who’ve always known fantasy could be both poetic and high literature, you’ll sink into smug satisfaction with “The Legacy of Skur.” I am sure of it.

Epic, Dark Fantasy Masterpiece Concludes!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016

The epic, adult-themed fantasy The Legacy of Skur continues in Volume Two and L.F. Falconer delivers yet again. While Volume One followed different characters throughout its three parts, Volume Two is divided into two parts with the same characters throughout. This final book in the trilogy could actually be enjoyed without reading the previous two but trust me, once you start you will want to read them all.

Part Four: The Valley of the Black Wood begins where Volume One ended, with the death of Rudne. Elva, the sixteen year old daughter of Fane and the Legacy of Skur is being pursued by Tillaman warriors through the moor until she is rescued by three Piskitians: Tulemar, Markaset and…Adalanto! Adalanto, absent from Volume One is the complicated, moody and magnificent main character from the first book, The Vagabond’s Son: Prelude to a Legacy. The Piskitians believe Elva is the Queen of Legend who will deliver them from the dying Black Wood, merciless king and conniving queen.

Part Five: The Elvan King starts with Kael, the Dragonslayer and uncle of Elva, betrayed by King Tilla and thrown into the chamber of the pits. Meanwhile Elva and the rebel Piskitians prepare to make a new home far from the Black Wood when the mountain of Skur lures Elva to its peaks where she meets a presence from her past. As Elva begins her reign she struggles with the love of three others, including the memory of Tulemar. She thinks, “Gwin had been a gentle breeze and Tulemar a warm fire, but Adalonto was a thunderstorm.” The book comes to a satisfying conclusion as Elva and Adalonto attempt to rescue Kael.

The Vagabond’s Son: Prelude to a Legacy and the two Legacy of Skur books are the best books I’ve read in many years. The world L.F. Falconer has created vividly comes to life through her masterful writing style. If you enjoy dark fantasy, do yourself a favor and begin this trilogy today.

Basking In The Afterglow of an Excellent Book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

The worst part about The Legacy of Skur: Volume Two is this third installment of L.F. Falconer's 3-book epic fantasy means the series of Skur is OVER! (Sniff. Sniff. Wail!)

But I want more, more of the author's descriptive prose. And I need more time with those wondrous Elvan creatures, and more of Her Majesty, and more of the dashing Adalanto, and I definitely want more Markaset, Kael and Thoren. I had become wholeheartedly invested in all of the characters in this series but, alas, all good tales must come to an end. (Sad Smiley Face)

That being said, this 493 page final installment stands on its own and may be enjoyed and perfectly understood without feeling like you've missed something. But don't. This series is epic, and Ms. Falconer's writing style should not be passed up. She is fabulous. Read all three books. They are fabulous.

Within the confines of a magical, medieval setting, Ms. Falconer manages to masterfully incorporate and address many of our modern-day Life challenges, whether it be social or economic, and she deftly brings these issues to task.

I was saving this read for vacation, but it wasn't to be. This book is the true definition of a "Page-Turner" as it kept calling to me when I should have been doing other things. I was kept on the edge of my seat, and every time I put the book down I picked it back up again. (Chores? What chores).

I will probably read all 3 books again. And that would be a first for me. (They are THAT good.)

So well done!
