Editorial Reviews

In this stand-alone sequel to the well-received Furies of Calderon, young Tavi continues to struggle with his inability to control the furies. Unfortunately, he has no time to salve his insecurity: A mysterious attack from across the sea has weakened the First Lord, leaving him vulnerable to plots within. To save the kingdom, Tavi must thwart assassination attempts and court treachery, heady assignments for a fledgling youth. A sympathetic protagonist; clear, vivid story lines.
