Summary: Can a Good Witch Save an Evil Empire?
Review: The second of Katya Reimann's books, this book starts off differently than the first, and takes us on a whole new journey.

The restless Gaultry Blass, serving as an honored guest in the court of the new Prince of Tielmark. She secretly hopes for something to do, and gets it when she and her sister foil an assassination attempt against the prince. However, one of the assassins from the Sha Muir nears death, and Gaultry saves his life. In doing so, she gets her wish for "something to do", as she must take the spy back to enemy soil in an attempt to save the life of her friend Martin Stalker.

Once again, we have a whole world to discover, and it is refreshing to read about the Bissantry Empire from their point of view. Unlike the typical (and simplistic) good and evil, we can see the way each country sees the other, and it is a theme that can apply to how we see other people and other nations. In the end, we wonder what influence both the huntress and the assassin have on each other, and will this new experience change the way the countries develop.

My only regret is that we still do not get a feel for Gaultry's twin sister, Mervion, who could and should be important in the development of the character. I believe that the twins were set up to explore the two personalities that women (and men) feel, and yet we only see the side of the independent Gaultry, not seeing the saavy Mervion, nor the relationship of the two sisters. I hope this is explored in future novels.

Overall, another enjoyable read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great work
Review: This searies is proabaly one of the best i have ever read. The characters are deep and easy to beleave. I love how Reimann describes our heros outlook on things. She is very independant and strong. I really loved this book and if you really love good fantasy, you should give this a try.
