In this book from Wredes acclaimed Lyra fantasy series, a young woman must fight for her life while on a quest to claim a magical family heirloom
Eleret doesnt know whats special about her mothers ring, but someone wanted it badly enough to kill for it. To make it home in one piece, she must unlock the mysteries of the ring her mother died to protect.
This refreshingly charming story makes good use of its warrior maiden, allowing her to find less obvious solutions to the rather typical dilemmas presented. Publishers WeeklyThis fantasy adventure by Wrede blends action, intrigue, and romance. Clever dialog and engaging characters add further spice to this magical comedy of manners.
