This swashbuckling adventure has it all: intrigue, fantastic animals and humans with extraordinary abilities, contests, romance and very unexpected surprises. Dara Ruminor is the main character, a dualist whose sword is not just used for sports competition. Great wise mentors enable her to find her strength despite daunting circumstances, war, and treachery. If you liked the Throne of Glass Series you will like this series. I enjoyed the characters, plot development and the coming of age of the teen characters who turn into
plausible adults with accumulated maturity through trials, friendships and villains. Wisdom is never cheap, experience is a hard teacher at times but these characters have earned their keep! Enjoy this tale!
