In this trilogy ender (Prophecy of the Sisters, Guardian of the Gate), Lia, accompanied by devoted Dimitri, continues her search for magical clues. She also makes a stand against Samael and comes to terms with her sister's apparent betrayal. Episodic plotting and an uninspired narrative voice work against the story, but its Victorian society setting and matrilineal mythology are intriguing.
