Second in the True Game series. Peter decides to go find his mother, Mavin Manyshaped, despite the pleas of Himaggery. He ends up discovering what's behind the mysterious disappearance of many of the Game's major players. Peter has grown up a bit, still understandably reluctant to use the special Game pieces he acquired, but he doesn't have much choice. There's a lot of interesting imagery in this book, and it starts to become more of an SF story than a fantasy. You can also see the themes appearing that mark all the rest of Sheri Tepper's work: social justice, the plight of women, tolerance of others.
