Publisher's Summary

Ethrea is an island in the center of the most important shipping route in the world. For 400 years, it has been a land of peace and impregnable security, a perfect trading hub - and a keeper of secrets.

The King of Ethrea is dying. His only surviving heir is the princess Rhian. But if her enemies have their way, Ethrea will not be ruled by a woman.

Dexterity Jones is a toymaker. To protect Princess Rhian and his country, he must place his trust in an exile from Mijak.

Yet as Ethrea comes ever closer to civil war, a greater danger awaits. Across the sea, an empress has already slaughtered millions in the name of her god. And the war will not end - until the world kneels before her.

Redemption for the first book! Eager for next!

I really disliked the first book. This second book is far far better. I was relieved to find that Hekat was not prevalent in the book. THe second book has a few chapters devoted to Hekat, but 95% is the about Ethryia. I wish the first book had been 95% Mijack, with a few chapters like this, just so I could understand that there was more to the story than the miserable story of Hekat. This book was narrated excellently, one of the first Audio books I've listened to that was narrated by a woman that I enjoyed all the voices, I didn't even think once that she did a poor job with the male voices. Often, female voices done by men, and vice versa, don't come out that good, but this narrator is incredible. She does the different regions accents amazingly as well. One thing I dislike is how often the same topics get discussed. I am guessing it is to cement certain idea's into the readers head, before the events come to pass. For instance, Ursa and other's continual questioning of Zandicar. It starts immediately in the book, and builds steadily throughout, becoming annoying (even annoying to characters in the book which I found hilarious. I am eager to get started on the next book.
