Publisher's Summary

Ile-Rien is in peril. A mysterious army known only as the Gardier has surrounded the country, attacking in ominous black airships. Hope is not lost though, for a magical sphere created by Ile-Rien's greatest sorcerer may hold the key to defeating the faceless enemy. But the sphere is unpredictable and has already claimed several lives. When a magical spell goes disastrously awry, young Tremaine Valiarde and a brave band are transported to another world-a world of rough magics, evil mages, honorable warriors, and a secret Gardier base.

What the critics say

"The subsequent story seems intended to combine elements of high fantasy and cross-time travel, as if it were a collaborative work by Andre Norton and S. M. Stirling. Thanks to Wells' narrative skill and considerably above-average characterization, it largely succeeds in those intentions." ( Booklist)

I always read Martha Wells

As always, the characters are well developed and the plot is original. I would recommend this book to my friends. It is not suitable for people who want a book that they can read in a couple of hours.

unlike her other books

This was a very very slow burn. It is very unlike murderbot or the Raksura books. I did injoy the bits of Intrigue and espionage. Sadly they were few are far between. the climax was good. I am unsure if I will read the second book
