Summary from Goodreads: 

Shourron I wanted nothing more than to find out where he came from. Who was his father? Who ordered the leech? Investigations yielded nothing, and he thought that no one would ever know...

Until now.

Shourron gets the answers to his checkered past, but the knowledge comes at a price: everything he knows about
himself, a world where people had once sought refuge, and the life of someone dear to him.

Those who want answers above all must be careful what they wish for.

What I think: 

My only pet peeves is that the covers art from book 1 to book 4 aren't consistent. Revival's cover illustration seemed to have much more captivating concept then the other 3. I still like the other 3 books covert art, but I wish it the design for the series is more consistent.

Summary from Goodreads:

Before Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the worst kind of punishment.

Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know.
