(4) YA Determined to understand her dead mother's motives and to protect her younger sister, Faris (Shimmer and Burn) sacrifices her relationship with North, heir to the throne. But helping North and his new bride reveals unexpected secrets. The complicated blood magic of Taranta's fantasy world engagingly brings both destruction and power; this second entry's extensive focus on Faris's reflections and feelings (somewhat) slows the pace.
