Description

Meg Corbyn, possessing a rare and unsettling gift as a cassandra sangue, finds herself navigating a world fraught with danger and intrigue. Each time her skin is sliced, she glimpses the future—a power that comes at a steep price, tethering her to the whims of those who would exploit her ability. In her quest for freedom, Meg discovers a strange sanctuary among the Others, beings who are both terrifying and majestic.

Amidst a tapestry of dark magic and hidden agendas, her journey unfolds as she learns to trust the very creatures that once instilled fear in her heart. As Meg grapples with her identity and the burdens of her prophetic visions, she must confront both her past and the shadows that threaten her burgeoning sense of belonging. Each revelation pushes her closer to an uncertain destiny in a world where survival hinges on friendship, power, and the unbreakable bonds forged between the diverse inhabitants of the Others.

I kept meaning to start this, because I adore the Dark Jewels series, and I kept reading five pages or so and bouncing off. I want to state it is worth getting into the meat of the book, but it does take a bit longer to warm up than Dark Jewels does. The characters and their interactions tend to be the charm of Anne Bishop books for me, and this holds true here. It's funny and creepy and tense in quite a few places, and watching our naïve heroine accidentally befriend people is fun, even as you occasionally smack your hand to your head that she's missing things. She has good reason to, which helped mitigate any annoyance from that. Now that things are going and it seems like the plot for the full series (?) is starting to pick up, I'm interested to see where these go.
