I loved this book... it saved the series after the disappointing Book #2. If you like Sharon Shinn and the rest of this series, this book is worth your money.
Rated by buyers -
Third in series. Get to know the characters and their relationships to each other better. Interesting to see a softer side to a hard-edged character.

Sharon Shinn is a great writer. She really takes you into the book! Great read for anyone that enjoys adventure and romance mixed with fantasy!

In Shinn's intrigue-filled third Twelve Houses fantasy (after The Thirteenth House and Mystic and Rider), Justin, one of the elite King's Riders who serve King Baryn of Gillengaria, finds plenty to be concerned about after going undercover as a stableman to learn about threats to Baryn's rule. Noblewoman Coralinda Gisseltess, head of the Lumanen Convent of the Daughters of the Pale Mother (a moon goddess), has begun her own campaign against mystics, preaching that their magic is an abomination to the goddess. Then Justin meets Ellynor Alowa of Lirren, a young novice from the convent, and loses his heart to her. Justin agonizes between his duty to his King and the safety of the woman he loves. Things get complicated when Ellynor is denounced as a mystic because of her healing abilities. Rescuing Ellynor from being burned at the stake won't be easy, but if Justin succeeds, he'll then have to deal with the taboo against Lirren women marrying outside their clans. The latest novel in Shinn's Twelve Houses series elaborates on the conflict between faith and magic. Once again Shinn expertly mixes romance with traditional fantasy for a satisfying read.

I was a little leery of this book cause the very first 2 books were very good an I didn't think it would be able to hold a candle to the very first two...I was very wrong this book was the best so far. I have purchased reader an raelynx...but have not started to read it yet but all I noticed is the raelynx is the wrong color...Unless somewhere in the book it explains they find an albino raelynx LOL...But I am going to get off here an start reading...You can't go wrong with this series once you read mystic an rider you will be hooked...ENJOY
