Translated by Anthea Bell.
The trilogy's final book (Ruby Red; Sapphire Blue) reveals that founder Count Saint-Germain has been manipulating the time-traveling Circle of Twelve. Sixteen-year-old Gwen must be persuaded to work with handsome Gideon again after he betrayed her, and motives are blurred as it becomes clear the Circle has been corrupted. An entertaining ride with a well-built conceit and reliable characterization.
