Malian chaffes against some of the restrictions on her life, she really wants to stretch her wings. Her family occupy a pivotal part in keeping the tide of shadow away from the rest of the world. Her home is attacked and she flees into the Old Keep. When there she has to face up to the fact that she has power, power that demands a price.

I really enjoyed this read, I like Malian as a character and the others around here were well drawn and believable. I'm looking forward to more in this series and by this author.
