Synopsis

For over seventy years, the use of familiars—monsters bound by magic to fight beside humans in the Long War—divided magery into two factions. Now, the monsters strike back.As Helena prepares for the Conference of Neutralities, reports of familiars breaking their bonds to attack and kill their masters raise tensions between the factions to an unprecedented high. Faced with the challenge of keeping her relationship with Malcolm Campbell secret from more than a hundred of her fellow custodians, Helena must also protect herself from rogue familiars—and they’re closer than she thinks.

About Melissa McShane

Melissa McShane is the author of Emissary, The Smoke-Scented Girl, and the novels of Tremontane: Servant of the Crown, Rider of the Crown, and Agent of the Crown. Her love of reading has been a constant in her life and she still remembers the places she lived by the books she was reading there: the Riddle-Master trilogy in New York, the Foundation series in Colorado, Howl's Moving Castle in Texas, Crown Duel in Utah. That love of reading stayed with her after she settled with her family in Utah and grew into a love of writing, first critical essays and reviews, then fiction. Her family includes her husband (a long-suffering man willing to let ideas bounce off him at speed), four children (also long-suffering and happy to live off macaroni and cheese while Mom writes) and three very needy cats, one of whom is so dumb he frequently runs into walls.

Goodreads review by Denisa

I liked this book! The series is still fun, and for some reason, I really like the fact that the familiars are monsters, kinda. I've usually seen typical animals, so this is a nice spin. Also, in a way, things are getting more and more interesting. Still a fast-paced plot, but the characters are deve......more

Goodreads review by Fen

I think I've said it before, but it's so wonderful getting to read a book that is *exactly* the sort of story you've been wanting to read. I'm still absolutely in love with the series (and I'm kicking myself for buying this one when it came out and the promptly forgetting I had it... especially sinc......more
