Book Description:
For many years, Sandry's cousin, the Empress of Namorn, has pressed her to visit. But Sandry prefers to stay with her own family in Emelan. Now, as is her right, the Empress has insisted. Sandry will not travel with a group of warriors -- that would only insult the Empress. She will travel with her friends from Winding Circle: Daja, Briar, and Tris. But the four young mages haven't been together in some time, and their friendship isn't what it used to be. Since they left Winding Circle, each has seen magic manipulated in ways -- both good and bad -- that they could not have imagined (cont'd)

This book was a bit confusing at first. After reading the Circle Opens books I was itching to know what happened to the four young mages. There seemed to be gaps in the time line as far as where Briar and Rosethorn are for a period of time.

I applaud Ms. Pierce for putting a character when an alternative lifestyle into her young adult literature. I am not going to spoil it by saying any more than that :)

Great book, Ms. Pierce continues to be my favorite author!

It was sad to see how separated the four mages had become over the years, but as each one started opening connections between one another, I was cheered. The story itself was a bit predictable but worthwhile reading to see all four of them back together again.
