Summary

He's a scribe looking for answers. If only a cagey - and frustratingly attractive - singer will let him help.

Summoned to the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Rhys of Glast, Irin archivist and scribe of Istanbul, must convince a legendary Irina singer to trust him. His success could shift the balance of power all over the Irin world and give singers an important key to their past.

Meera didn't call for Rhys's help, and she doesn't need it. The scribe's mission is to bring more martial magic into the Irin world, while Meera has been looking for a path toward peace. She's convinced that some other motive is at work, and his stubborn arrogance doesn't pass for charm in her hallowed opinion.

Discovering ancient Irina magic should be something both scholars can agree on, but can these two rivals find any common ground? Neither Rhys nor Meera can ignore the simmering heat between them, but will attraction overcome the caution that has shaped both their lives?

Contains mature themes.

The so called Indian accent spoilt the enjoyment

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved the story but the so-called Indian accent by the narrator bothered me a lot and it took a lot of effort to ignore it and focus on the story. I don't know why most westerners assume that all Indians talk like Apu from The Simpsons. It's insulting.
Meera's father Marut was said to be from Kashmir; Marut isn't a Kashmiri name and I asked to confirm. Meera's mother's name was Patiyala, which is the name of a place in India and would never be chosen as a name for a person, especially a female. The whole family was given a south Indian accent even though they are from the north. It may not bother others but it grated on my nerves and took away from the enjoyment of a fabulous story.
There were times when Rosh and Rhys sounded exactly the same and I had no idea who was talking. Same goes for Meera and Sari Everything sounded muddled.
I liked the narrator in the previous books but in this book I was disappointed. Unlike the previous books in the series this one left me tired rather than content.
I liked all the characters in the book and the story had a lot of depth but it felt long. The phrase 'Heaven above' was so over used that towards the end I cringed every time I heard it. It's still a good series and I would recommend it.
