Publisher Description
It is a time for celebration in Tielmark, at long last free from the age-old rule of the decadent but powerful Bissanty empire. Yet as the young glamour witch Gaultry Blas travels to witness the sacred rites which will renew her prince's magical bond to the land and its twin goddesses, she had no idea of the trials that await her and all Tielmark. Foiling an attempt by Bissanty assassins to taint the prince with dark, poisonous magic, she finds herself thrown into the midst of a sinister and dangerous plot. With one of the assassins as her unlikely ally, she must journey deep into the heart of Bissanty-where it will take all her skill and magic to uncover the last hidden ties that bind Tielmark's destiny to that of its depraved former masters...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Reimann's first novel, Wind from a Foreign Sky, woodland huntress Gaultry Blas and her twin sister, Mervion, used the wild magic of their Glamour-souls to remove a dangerous traitor from the Prince's Court and defeat enemy nation Bissanty's plans to control the Free Principality of Tielmark. This sequel picks up with the twins saving Prince Benet from poisoning by a young Sha Muir assassin, Tullier. Convinced that beneath the assassin's training lies a soul worth saving, Gaultry earns the enmity of the Court by preventing Tullier's suicide, installing into his body half of her own Glamour-soul in order to withstand the poison that fills his Sha Muira veins. When Gaultry's friend Martin is kidnapped by Sha Muir assassins, Gaultry and Tullier set off to save him, only to find that the Sha Muir appear to be pawns in a much larger game of Bissanty political intrigue. Though Reimann's writing is sometimes disjointed and overblown, the ever-more-tangled plot moves swiftly along. The book ends with more plot threads dangling than tied up, but that's okay, as there's clearly plenty of story remaining to be told in the richly detailed world Reimann has created.
