As a glassmaker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowan understands trials by fire.
Now it's time to test her mettle. Someone has sabotaged the Stormdancer clan's glass orbs,
killing their most powerful magicians. The Stormdancers - particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade - require Opal's unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap into a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance - including her own - Opal must control powers she hasn't known she possessed...powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she's ever known.
This book is a spin off from the 'Poison Study' series.
While I enjoyed reading this book, I did find that I seemed to be reading the same type of story again, so I did find it a little monotonous. The main characters are new but we were introduced to Opal from the last series. Her character seems to be a tortured soul in the sense she feels responsible for the death of her sister and she doesn't feel she deserves to be at the magic school.
Opal soon discovers that she has more magical abilities than she realizes and her life is in danger because of it.
Well written...full of adventure... lots of magic...and a little romance thrown in.
A good teen read, especially if you enjoyed the first series.
I rate this book 4 stars.
