PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The trilogy begun with Daughter of the Empire is here brought to a strong conclusion. Lady Mara of the Acoma clan, named Servant of the Empire by Ichindar, Emperor of the Tsuranuanni, whom she has raised from figurehead to true ruler, feels safe from her enemies for the first time in her life--until an assassination attempt aimed at her kills her young son and heir instead. Convinced her old foe, Jiro of the House Anasati, is behind the deed, she plans war. But her desires are thwarted by the reactionary Assembly of Magicians, who are, Mara begins to understand, the true power in the Empire, having kept the people docile for a millennium. In her fight to bring down her enemies and ensure peace for the Empire, Mara must employ the nonhuman cho-ja and an ancient secret. The characters' efforts to work out their destinies within the constraints of a tradition-bound culture is depicted with skill.

At last!
I have been waiting for so long for this to finally arrive in iBooks! I'm so glad it's here.
The final book is the most diverse and moving of the trilogy. I admit to not having sufficient vocabulary to use in order to properly describe how good this series is. Buy it. If you've read this far into the review you've already wasted too much time without the books being in your life!
Enjoy!
