About this listen

Magic is a double-edged sword, and Siobhan knows the sting of its blade better than most.

Old scars have peeled open to spill out the horrors within, and Siobhan has learned to fear her shadow.

When the Red Guard comes to assess the Raven Queen as a threat, she must convince them she's worth more alive than dead. They want the truth behind her secrets, and she wants access to forbidden knowledge. Fortunately, she knows that sometimes the best defense is a dangerous reputation—even one built on deception.

But as Siobhan delves deeper into Myrddin's encrypted journals and the restricted archives of the Thaumaturgic University, she begins to understand why some knowledge is kept under lock and key. The secrets she uncovers whisper of magics that should not exist, of powers that should not be touched.

But knowledge, once gained, cannot be unknown.

This book success in moving the story onto new grounds. What used to be defining challenges for Sioban was resolved earlier, and stay resolved.
Far too many books in this genre [Progression Fantasy] just tread old hills instead of moving on.
The new challenges are exiting and have been foreshadowed properly, so the leading is fluid.

This book clearly sets up the future arcs and focus point, making one salivate for the next in the series.

And once more... I don't care for Oliver. eugh. luckily I think this is the book he is the least influential on.

Another great book in the series! Definitely worth the wait.
