Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lady Angarred Hashan married the Master of the College of Magicians, and retreated from the life of the Royal Court of Karededin, to manage their school and raise a family of their own. The reign of Queen Rodarren was calm and the Kingdom prospered. But Rodarren died too soon, leaving her 14 year old son to rule. Young King Jerret, unprepared for his new responsibility, soon fell under the influence of an ambitious lord from the North, and the royal court became a place where Angarred and Mathewar were no longer welcome. So it is with surprise and concern that they received a summons from the King. And it is with horror that they discover that Lord Haru is not content to rule Karededin through Jerret, but intends to place one of his own sons on the throne instead, by war or assassination. From the city of Pergodi, to the far Northern island kingdom of Ou, they will travel to discover the truth of how the Haru family has come to have such powerful magic, and to find a way to stop them. Review:"In this undemanding sequel to Glass's The Daughter of Exile (2004), 14 years have passed since Lady Angarred Hashan married Mathewar, the Master of the College of Magicians. Queen Rodarren of Karededin has died and her young son, Jerret, is king. In the two short years since his ascension, the now 14-year-old king, under the sway of the evil lord Noldeth Haru, has managed to bring his country near bankruptcy and embroil it in a senseless, immoral invasion of neighboring Goss. When the boy-king summons Mathewar and Angarred to court, the couple are horrified by the presence of nearly mindless 'Bound Folk,' a sure sign of trouble. It's obvious to everyone but Jerret that Haru is behind all the mischief. Mathewar leaves Angarred to deal with the royal court while he journeys north in search of answers. Less-than-complex intrigue, a simple plot and characters who at times are as mindless as the Bound Folk add up to mildly agreeable fantasy lite. Agent, Russell Galen at Scovil, Chichak, Galen.
