Conn is separated from his mother that fateful night, but she and Alastair find sanctuary in Thendara City, among the wealthy and the laran-gifted. Yet Conn, too, survives, to be raised in secret among those who would see Storn overthrown.

Weak? Yes. Terrible? No. Enjoyable? I thought so.

The story is more simplistic than Bradley's best work, yes.

However, for those familiar with the setting, it's an enjoyable tale, perhaps on par with _Star of Danger_: fun, light reading in a familiar world.
