Young Raine knows that she holds the power of the Sixth Gate—death itself. The darkness inside her is creating more division between her and the friends she has, however, and her master Ulovar is growing weaker every day from a mysterious illness. She understands that the book she has could be the answer, but no one can help discern its work, as the book was lost to the ages by those Raine trains under. The king’s health is also failing, and rebellion begins to fester as famine spreads across the North. When Raine’s former friend Ovitus arrives with powerful allies, he seems to seek penance from Raine—or her own submission—as his own power rises. But the Grandmaster has been shaping Raine through training, and the Queen of Feathers has promised her magic. Now Raine must decide if she will be someone else’s weapon—or be her own person.
VERDICT The second “Redwinter Chronicles” book, after Daughter of Redwinter, is filled with action, suspense, and magic. There are no altruistic characters here, making this a nuanced, complex story that will keep readers engaged.
