Summary: Daine sails to Cathak as part of a peace treaty delegation from Tortall. There she is amazed by strange and wondrous sights, including rooms filled with dinosaur bones and the Emperor Mage's zoo. But she also senses a darkness beneath all the gold and glitter, a darkness that lies in wait. At the same time, Daine is discovering that her own wild magic is growing again, this time giving her powers both great and terrifying.

Review: Daine actually voiced my thoughts about this book herself: "I don't like who I've been here." I wouldn't go as far as to say I don't like her, but I'm definitely not as fond of her as I am in Tortall. I think a great deal of this is because in Tortall she works together with her friends, whereas here she was alone most of the time, and it just didn't appeal as much to me.
