Publisher Description
Adara dreams of joining the Warders, a secret society that protects the kingdom of Eridan. While completing her field exam in allied Creuse, she spies her trainer, Geren, attacking Creusean royal guards. Is the battle real or part of her test? Unsure, she enters the dangerous world of Creusean politics with two children, runaway slaves, as her only guides. Alerted by the Eridani thieves’ guild of foul play, the Warders dispatch Adara’s friends, veteran agent Draham and half-elven Toran, on a mission to save the alliance and if possible rescue Adara and Geren.
Will they be forced to choose between their sworn duty and their friends?

Fun fantasy
Adara’s dream is becoming a Warder agent. Her final test is to covertly follow the royal Cruesean coach. While she struggles to extricate herself from a thicket of thorns, the coach stops. She hears the ringing of steel on steel and looks to see Geren fighting with the Count’s personal guard. Back in Eridan, the panicked appearance of Geren’s spirit sign in the cavern below the Knife & Cat tavern, alarms the leaders of the Warders. News from their contacts in the local thieves’ guild convinces them to send Draham and Toran on a desperate mission.
The characters are interesting. The storyline is entertaining. This is a great book for fans of YA fantasy.
The narrator, Michelle Babb, is wonderful at bringing the story off the page. She is great at bringing the unique and goofy characters to life. She really captures each character’s voice.
