Leah Cypess has once again written a captivating tale of magic and adventure that is appropriate for young adults but engaging for audiences of all ages.
Illeni was a powerful sorceress — one of the most powerful. She had her entire life to look forward to, including a young man she planned to marry, but then she learned that the magic was slipping away. Bit by bit it would fade until there was nothing left. There is nothing left for her with her own people either, so she goes on a suicide mission to teach magic to the assassins guild and while she’s at it, try to find out who’s been killing her predecessors.
This story has strong characterization, strong world building, lots of mystery and drama, and a terrific ending. After reading several of Leah’s stories, I’ve come to believe that her endings are her strength. I have yet to feel disappointed in hos she brings her tales together.
I highly recommend this story for fantasy lovers of all ages.
