I bought this book from Unclaimed Baggage back when I was in the parket for a PDA. The general idea behind the sight is that it is a dept for where unclaimed luggage from airlines goes. So this book has already done some traveling.

The imperial princess Medeoan is betrothed and then married to a young man named Kacha from a rival political area. Although the betrothal was intended as a political one, she believed he really loved her, to the point where she exiled her teacher and confident Avanasy. Shortly there after her parent's death encourage her to let her husband to take up more and more of the resposibilities of state.

After she discovers the depth of her husband's betrayal though she is forced to flee and have Avanasy return from his exile. He does so, but brings with him the woman he has sinced fallen in love with in late 19th century Wisconsin. Together they travel back to the more magical lands of his origin to aid the empress.

I was a little distressed that the most of the praising quotes on the book actually refer to the previous book in the series, A Sorcerer's Treason. Despite that I actually enjoyed this book quite a bit and have since added a bunch other books by this author to my wishlist: the most sincere compliment.

This book was accepted by RayneQueen on the "Read & Reviewed - International" bookrelay within minutes of it being offered.

Found it waiting for me when I came home this weekend. Thanks!

I'm moving again and so donating a bunch of my books, including this one, to the Friends of the Georgetown Library's used book store.
