Though Isaura was a good protagonist, I found myself attached to and invested in a number of other characters-there were plenty I thought could have been the protagonists themselves. I've read a lot of fantasy and this was a nice break from the usual canned storyline. A brilliant, wide cast of characters, unique, rich world, and interesting, exciting plot. Instead what is here, in abundance, is a more primal power. A land with a history marked by warfare where magic as we know it does not exist. Her only hope lies in a foreign land – a land rich in tradition ruled by three powerful clans. Old hatreds and superstitions are renewed and at her most vulnerable she learns the true nature of those around her. Her struggles forge a bond with an ancient power – a power which may transform or consume her. Secrets from her past emerge to torment her and threaten to destroy all she holds dear. Having fled an invading army with her friends, Isaura is faced with heinous choices in order to survive. Trapped, she longs for escape to a different life.Įscape is only the beginning of her troubles. She has few friends, and those she treasures. Born to refugees, she grows up enduring racism and superstition within a community that fears her. Isaura – little is known about her race, but much is whispered.
