YA
Fifteen-year-old Tali and her friends want nothing more than to earn a place in the Queen's legendary army, the Second Guard. Whispers of something rotten in Tequende, however, draw them into a conflict that threatens to destroy the realm. Set in a richly imagined world inspired by seventeenth-century Colombia, this action-packed adventure thoroughly stands out in the high-fantasy genre.
