A
call for help to Winding Circle temple has been sent by people on one of the
islands south of Emelan. Their concern is their plants, trees and animals that
live around are mysteriously dying. A prickly green mage Rosethorn and young
stone mage trainee Evvy respond to the call and strive to find the problem that
has something to do with a long-dormant volcano. With the help of Luvo, the
living stone heart of a mountain, Evvy, then attempts to do whatever it takes
to avoid the catastrophic destruction. Will they be able to evacuate the island
in time or will they try to shift a volcano? From the author of the Trickster
series, Pierce engage the intricate conversational and dialogue-rich writing
style and the taste of suspenseful and fast-paced. The world-building storyline
seems to be her uniqueness that makes this book hard to put down.
