Reviews
“An empowering adventure through a magical world that is both warmly familiar and delightfully new. Lucinda Guillierre's journey toward unexpected power hearkens back to the very best of Mercedes Lackey, Diana Wynne Jones, or Naomi Mitchison. A spellbinding beginning to a landmark fantasy series.” —David Bowles, author, The Smoking Mirror
