After rescuing the boy Cammon (an orphan empath) and a raelynx (a savage cat), the party undergoes increasingly perilous adventures while a disturbing attraction between Senneth and Tayse builds into profound and forbidden love. To investigate rumors that Gillengaria's southern noble houses are plotting revolt and fostering a pogrom against mystics born with supernatural powers, Baryn sends out five diverse individuals: Senneth, a female mystic who commands fire Kirra, an aristocratic healer and shape-changer Kirra's shape-shifting servant, Donnal and Tayse and Justin, two elite King's Riders deeply distrustful of mystics. Elderly King Baryn sits on a shaky throne, wed to a strange childless queen, and hides his only heir, a daughter. While not as original as Shinn's popular Archangel trilogy, this first of four in the Twelve Houses series, set in the land of Gillengaria, is tailor-made for the growing audience of fantasy fans who like a good juicy romance.
