Sonya (Burning Glass) and Anton must combat politics and rebellion as they establish a new democracy. But the biggest threat might be Sonya's empath powers, as the temptation to solve their problems by magical manipulation grows. Sonya can be a frustratingly inconsistent character in this middle book, but the fast-paced action and intrigue will hook readers for the trilogy's final volume.
