About this ebook

In this third book in New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning author Shannon Hale's beloved YA fantasy series Books of Bayern, Razo must become the unlikely hero his country needs.

Razo has never considered himself anything but ordinary--and certainly not a great soldier. So he's sure it's out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern's greatest enemy.

But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern country, it's Razo who discovers the first dead body. He is also the only Bayern able to befriend the right people--potential allies who can provide information about the ever-increasing murders--like the beautiful Lady Dasha. If Razo can embrace his talents, he might be the only one who can get the Bayern soldiers home alive.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book, but I felt like it had points when it just dragged on. Some subplots could have been left out and made the book more to the point, and there were some things that you do wonder about that she does not fill in about. I truly could not stop reading, and was tempted to take it out even in class!

So far my favorite of the series. Razo is a likable character who is easy to care about. Much lighter than enna burning

In this book Razo feels like the weakling of the group. He gets a chance to prove himself he goes and does it. He meets a girl and makes some new friends
