I like a book packed with story and this book delivers. You really need to read it more than once to catch all the details. It's about a woman who finds herself in a strange land called Taren. She meets a princess who needs Rayna to help her defeat a ursuper. Red Robes--evil magicians-- are sent out by the ursuper to kill both Rayna and the princess. They flee and try to stay one step ahead of their enemies. The storyline is well developed, rich and thought-provoking. These are not one-dimensional stock characters—they have their quirks and grey areas. Nobody, including the heroine is flawless. Everybody has an agenda and no one is exactly who they first seem to be. Exciting to read and full of interesting characters and a detailed plot. Now that I have read this book once, I think I will read it again.
