Jame is one of the last of the Kencyrath line, born to battle a world-destroying Lord of Darkness and resuscitate her ancestral heritage. Jame's youth was spent hard and low in a desert wasteland. Now she has discovered her past and her heritage as Highborn—and, with it, the power to call souls out of their bodies and slay the occasional god or two (as well as to resurrect them).

First, though, Jame must survive the politics and dangers of haunted Tentir College, a school for warriors where she's a student. At Tentir, Jame saves a young protégé from possession by a powerful, evil soul in search of a body, while combating jealous students who see her as a danger to their ambition for power and want her expelled—and blinded and dead, in the bargain! To make matters worse, she's challenged to a mounted combat duel to decide who is Tentir "top gun"—a competition she must win to graduate. It's trial by fire, as Jame moves closer to a magnificent destiny she both fears—and knows she must face.

    A well-written book safe for the one thing that caused me not to give it 5 stars.

    The ending was abrupt and ungraceful and felt rather hololow. It is as if the weaver found herself suddently out of cloth and had to improvise some hasty stitching to finish her tapestry in a manner she did not intend. Most unworthy of this series. I sincerely hope the next book will be soon in coming and end more tidily.

    Solid but short, and a bit repetitive.
    We have more random school and visits to seasonal festivals.
    Best result: Jame finally breaks out of her chrysalis and graduates. Here's hoping that she is posted north not south, following the foreshadowing rather than the endless discussion of where top students go.

    I agree with Michele. It should have been longer. The ending left me wanting so much more. Maybe a 100 pages more would have given it more of a finality. However, some doors are closed which means the next one in the series will be a little more focused. Very apt title. I thoroughly enjoyed it. As always it was worth the wait.

    A great continuation of a wonderful story. I only wish it was longer.

    A new reader might be confused but all the more reason to go back and read the entire series from the start..... I know I will LOL

    A great story, well written
