Content

The Islands of the Blessed, referred to frequently in the series, will obviously play a significant part in the book. Also remaining in question are:
* Whether the Bard will die, as it was hinted
* If Thorgil will get back home
* If Thorgil will fight again
* If Pega will marry the Bugaboo
* If Jack will get a new staff
* If Brutus and Father Severus will fix up Din Guardi and St. Filian's, respectively
* If Thorgil will show affection for Jack
* What will happen to Ethne in the nunnery
* If they will travel to the Islands of the Blessed, hence the title
* If Parthalis will come from Elfland to get Pega and Jack
