Kira is trying to adjust to her role as the almighty Sorceror, but her friends aren’t letting it go to her head.
Evander receives an invitation from his brother to come to the Harvest Feast, but is convinced that it is political move for his brother to use Kira’s presence. Elven society has a hatred of augmented people, even if that augmentation was forced upon them, so Evander is anathema to his family.
Meanwhile magic is not working as it should, and the Emperor asks Kira to investigate. Sorcerors can travel outside of reality, where normal magic users cannot.

This second book in the series, brings together the group, creating a family. Mostly.
The characters are likable, and diverse.

On to book three.
