The Kyralian Ambassador to Sachaka (the land next door) is open. Lord Dannyl, who has been studying the history of magic for twenty years since he was Ambassador to Elyne, is going to apply. His study has come to a halt - it seems that he has found all he is going to find in Kyralia, but he still has holes in his work. Since Kyralian-Sachakan relations have always been rocky this is the first time he may be able to travel there.
In the city of Imardin there have been many changes. The city has grown and the divide between rich and poor has blurred - at least geographically. The Thieves still run the lower class areas - controlling their territories and either running drugs or making sure drug stay out of their neighborhoods. A welcome addition to the new city is the hospice - there are now a few hospices around the city. The poor can be treated whether they can pay or not.
When Dannyl is appointed Ambassador, Lord Lorkin volunteers to be his assistant. While it is always dangerous for a Kyralian to travel to Sachaka, it may be especially hazardous to Lorkin. His parents were the main reason the Sachakan invasion twenty years ago failed - and Sachakans never forget.
Canavan has continued the story of Sonea from the first series while adding new characters and remaining true to the world she has created. Fans will be thrilled. Let's hope there is even more to come after this series!
