Summary

Stasya and her companions have made a remarkable journey to find the true heir to the Rulership, Markus, believed dead as a child. Now they must bring him back to court for the Grand Council, where he will reveal himself. Until then his survival must be kept secret, for not only is he at risk, but the Ruler's guards will be hunting for the fugitives.

The dangerous journey brings shipwreck, armed attack, and monsters both human and unearthly. As they travel, the team learns just how much damage the Ruler's desperate quest for amber is inflicting on her people, and how much stronger they can be when they stand together.

Much hangs in the balance, and all fear the final confrontation. In the end, could storytelling be the key?

I've been a fan of Juliet Marillier's books for a long time but I wished I had read these books instead of listened to them. The choices of the narrator has made these strong characters sound wimpy and without any passion or power.
The story is good but I'll get the book in a few years to get a second chance to fall in love with it again.

loved the story, love the writer, didn't like the narrators choices
