The second book in the Mkalis Cycle, following up to The Border Keeper! Returning to the land of Mkalis, we get to see the Tyn navigate the afterschocks of discovering the truths about her former life and her role as guard to the ruler. Tyn must face old enemies and danger like never before as well as make a choice about who she is and who she wants to be. Following the novella this one definitely had a more interesting look at the world as well as a straight forward plot. The action was enjoyable and the characters in this one were fun to read! Tyn was a great protagonist and overall, a wonderful read!
