With two years left to go at the College of Wizardry in the University of Kronisburg, Cordelia Cooper is called back to Pango Island. The people she left in charge of her case have proved less than trustworthy and the sea elves and the lizardmen were not being treated fairly.
Interrupting her studies to go around the world to get back to Pango Island wasn't something she wanted to do but she didn’t have a lot of choice. She had an obligation to the sea elves and the lizardmen. To make things worse, the arrogant and self-righteous Intercessor of Noron, Miguel Cordoba, has decided that it's his duty to accompany her on her "noble quest."
From Kronisburg to the Kingdom Isles, from the Kingdom Isles to adventures in Amonrai—and all that's before they even get to Pango Island and find out what's happened to the sea elves. What's happened isn't good and Cordelia and Miguel are honor bound to do something about it.
The Governor of Pango Island is about to be Schooled in Magic.
This is the second book about the maturing Cordelia Cooper, natural wizard. While the original novel covers several years of time from when Cordelia first discovered her talent to her first year at the University taking formal classes this novel covers a single year. Cordelia must take time out of school to deal with a betrayal of trust from her earlier adventures. Being that her magical skills are still developing she must travel the slow mundane way which leaves many opportunities for trouble to develop along the way. Not as much fun as the first book, but still highly enjoyable!
I like Cordelia and her sense of right and wrong and the fact she is trying to make changes in her world. The type of magic she uses is a little confusing and I'm glad she is able to go to school and learn more about her magical abilities.
Definitely I love this type of books that are fast pace fantasy action, easy to read and keep up with the story and remember events as the plot develops love ir
