What to expect
In an alternate Renaissance Italy where the church regulates magic and licenses magicians, fiery Fiametta Beneforte wants to be more than her goldsmith-mage father’s unpaid apprentice. But when the Duchy of Montefoglia is laid under military and magical siege, she unexpectedly must join with Thur Ochs, a young Swiss miner and foundryman, to tap their skills in both metalwork and necromancy to rescue her father’s soul and combat an evil sorcerer.
Critics Review
-
“Bujold continues to work at the same level that has won her five major science fiction awards…Her first fantasy…[is] as good as her fine action science fiction.”
Chicago Sun-Times
-
“In a perfectly natural manner, Bujold incorporates the concept of magic into this crisply paced, fully developed tale.”
