After the outriders return with the unlightable lamp, the castle’s inkeepers shift their attention to the unfoldable map. The map is hidden in the distant town of Stinley – where nobody is allowed.
As the prince’s power increases, new threats stalk the Fourtlands, and Carys is injured while on patrol. Varrick continues to evade the Orldics who hunt him, but the kingsfolk will suffer until he yields to the warlords he used to serve.
While the sanguinambit continues to weaken, Paxton battles his increasing need to cross the pale and protect his friends. But how much longer can Pax resist leaving the castle, especially when Pearl is asked to join the search for the unfoldable map?

The 3rd book in this series did not disappoint me. I love the ongoing development of the characters, and seeing them grow into themselves through out their experiences. I can't wait to read more about Pearl and Paxton and all the rest.
