As of March 2007, Wren's War remains the final book available set in the east-of-the-Great-Desert region of Sartorius-deles, though Crown Duel appears to be set in the same time period. The sequel to Wren's War, tentatively titled Wren Journymage, remains less than forthcoming.[1]
If, as it appears, the art for all three books' Firebird edition was done by the same person, then the cover art for Wren's War is by Victor Lee. The dimensions of the Firebird paperback are 6.9 × 4.2 × 0.7 inches.[2]
[edit] Plot summary
Andreus finally begins the military maneuvers against Mildrith which had been feared in Wren to the Rescue. Lirwani agents launch a covert strike to abduct Tess and assasinate the King and Queen. These events take place while Wren is on vacation in Alat Los. As part of the plot, Tess is drugged via a drink presented to her by one of the agents posing as a stable worker[citation needed], but the effect does not take full hold until she is in a hidden starecase in the palace, and is rescued by her most loyal servent after reviving in time to whitness her parents' murder. After being evacutated to a building in the hills, Tess raises the alarm to Wren, Tyron, and Conor using the summons rings which they began using after the events of Wren to the Rescue.
[edit] Trivia
- It becomes noticeable that events cause Wren to transform into a different animal in each of the three books. (A dog in Wren to the Rescue, a merfolk in Wren's Quest, and a bird in Wren's War.) The only cover art which has not (and has in fact consistently not) represented this is found on all editions of Wren to the Rescue.
