And how can she use it when the gods finally take vengeance on the evil empire of Carthak?

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.

This book was very entertaining and allowed me to enjoy magic with beautiful descriptions and easily understood writing. I stayed up all night reading it and could not stop if I had wanted to.
