My KNEA RC review:
In a country that has been overtaken by an invading people, Lan and Zen, both orphans, connect through tragic circumstances. Despite this, they flee together, with Zen, an accomplished practicioner of Hin magic, teaching Lan to control her qí so that she, too, can learn the now forbidden practice. They seek refuge in Zen's safe haven, his hidden school of magic, and there they begin to unravel the mystery and danger they face. Hand this to lovers of sweeping dramatic fantasy and stories of good vs evil who aren't intimidated by large books.
