This fifth installment in the Landover series brings back familiar characters and struggles for power as Nightshade once again makes a move to rid the kingdom of her nemesis, Ben Holiday. Nothing in his former life as a Chicago lawyer has prepared Holiday for his exceptional child, Mistaya, or her kidnapping. Dick Hill makes sure there's an underlying sense of fun in this book, even when events seem to be going badly. He deftly delivers the depth of feeling between the characters as they find themselves in new and challenging situations. In bringing voice to the precocious Mistaya, Hill strikes an effective balance between her age and power. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
