Can Theena 's newfound magic defeat the mind-thieving monsters--before they steal all the memories?
Everyone adores Theena. But the queen's lovely step niece is secretly bitter because she is surrounded by epic heroes and royalty, and she is neither. So, when insidious Hants invade Miraven, stealing people's memories one by one, Theena seizes her chance for glory and joins a fearless band. Their quest is daring--brave the perilous Hall of Shiftings, capture the mind-thieving Hants, and retrieve the stolen memories. If they can made it past the dreaded doorways.
Theena's fellow questers are all celebrated legends, so at first she is daunted and resentful. But soon there is no time for that. From the moment they enter the treacherous Hall, the Questers are fighting for their lives.
As the band races against time to reach the Hant lair, Theena discovers that an amulet--gifted by the queen--contains a powerful magic that might be the key to vanquishing the monsters. But she may never find out. Because they are headed toward the most notorious doorway of all, behind which lurks an unimaginable danger.
With lyrical writing reminiscent of Guy Gavriel Kay and Naomi Novak, with a dash of Clive Barker thrown in, Judith Lepore weaves a tale full of unforgettable characters and heartsopping suspense. This third book in the Magic of Miraven trilogy is not to be missed.
