Rin, Razo’s little sister, is haunted by the forest she has always loved. When Razo invites her back to the city to be one of Queen Ani’s waiting women, she happily accepts . . . only to end up on the adventure of her lifetime, following the queen, Enna and Dasha into the countryside in search of a fire-starting enemy that no one can see. As she learns more about the three women’s magical talents, she finds her own strength comes from places both expected – the forest – and unexpected – the sound of her own voice.A brilliant addition to the Books of Bayern, this book is a treat for fans of this series, and stands alone for readers who might be discovering the joys of Shannon Hale’s writing for the first time.
