The third book in the “Family Spies” series follows the youngest son of Heralds Mags and Amily, Tory, as he and his best friend, Prince Kyril (Kee), set out on an adventure of their own. When Mags receives a message from his cousin Bey that Bey’s eldest daughter, Sira, has been kidnapped by the Karsites, Tory and Kee are sent to help as guides for Sira’s brother, Ankhan. But when the two boys go even further and decide to help with Sira’s escape, they instigate a chain of events that will change their lives forever.
VERDICT Longtime Lackey readers will feel a sense of familiarity as this book returns to the world of Valdamar, the setting of the author’s many other series. In addition to showcasing Lackey’s strengths in worldbuilding, this work also highlights her skills in creating realistic characters, the primary drivers of her stories and a delight to read. For fans of Lackey, this new jaunt through Valdemar is not to be missed.
