When Jame returned to Knorth hall to help her brother Torisen name all the fallen fighters' death banners stored there, she made the disturbing discovery that those banners splattered with their owners' blood also have trapped their owners' souls. She also found a contract proving her cousin Kindrie to be legitimate, proving that there are three full-blooded Knorth. Three full-blooded Knorth means that the Three-Faced God can be manifested—something that none of the three are likely to want to do, if they have any choice in the matter.
Returning with this unwelcome knowledge to school at Tentir, Jame continued to dodge the attentions of an unwanted admirer, strengthen her link to her feline hunting ounce, work with the rathorn colt Death's-head to insure that it doesn't resume its attempts to kill her, and, of course, kept causing plenty of unintended havoc. She also had to help fight off attacks from hillmen, repel a stampede of yarkcarn (think warthogs the size of mammoths), fight in the Winter War (a mock conflict—or, at least, that's how it was supposed to be), and solve the mystery behind the death of her evil uncle, who somehow is still spectrally manifesting himself in nasty ways. No doubt about it—Jame is back, and with a vengeance, as the popular and critically-praised fantasy adventure series continues.
"Hodgell has crafted an excellent and intricate fantasy with humor and tragedy, and a capable and charming female hero. Highly recommended."

Product ReviewFantastic book! One point about the cover art: there is no way that chick could ever be mistaken for her twin brother.

Product ReviewWe are chomping at the bit for more more more.
This is a wonderful series starting where
the main character has more depth than the clevage on the latest cover art.
The writing is enjoyable and the world Pat has created is engaging and entertaining.
I alwas find more than a few laughs hidden in the book. Oh maybe the lack of sleep because I can not put the book down accounts for that. :)
There is a bit of irony in how the fans, the writer, and the characters have an odd relationship with time.
It was a long time coming, thank you Baen for picking up this wonderful author!
