This book is about a very talented sorceress, Laciel, who is sent on a quest to find a missing magical stone on which the fate of the world rests. She is teamed up with a potpourri of other people, each with a unique talent that is vital to the mission. Together they cross various worlds in search of the stolen stone so that balance can be restored in Laciel's world. I lost a lot of sleep over this one, mainly because I could not force myself to put it down! While it is full of action, the book also contains a healthy dose of "emotional stuff" to the mix, with constantly changing relationships and problems. The only reason I did not give this book a "five" was because I found the ending disappointing and unsatisfying. However, since there is a second book out, I'm hoping the author clears things up. If you are the type of person who accepts realistic endings, do yourself a favor and read this book. If you are the kind of person who insists the guy gets the girl (or vice versa) find a different book, 'cause you'll end up screaming, "You stupid, stupid putz! " at the main character (or author), which is generally a bad thing.

Laciel, has been made the head of a strange group to follow an unknown person who stoled the one stone that keeps the world from falling apart. This is a fantastic fantasy story that keeps you on the edge of your seat up to the final page. I recommend this book to anyone.

Ms. Green was one of the first fantasy authors I read as a teenager, and I still remember the butterflies in my stomach caused by reading her romantic scenes.

This was the first Sharon Green book I read and it sent me looking for more, the story was engaging and the unfolding character development left me with a growing understanding of the different relationships in the book
