Publisher's summary

Bayern has triumphed in its war with Tira. But though the war is over, simmering anger remains among the Tirans and new hostilities could erupt at any moment. In a desperate attempt to maintain the peace, King Geric sends an ambassador to the Tiran capitol. Of course, an ambassador needs a military guard. Razo - short, impish, and not at all skilled at combat - longs to be among those selected to go, but thinks he has no chance. So he is astounded when Captain Talone taps him to join the group. He’s even more astounded when he discovers the secret reason for Talone’s decision.

All too soon Razo is up to his eyeballs in a simmering mix of danger and intrigue - not to mention an unexpected romance. But as the gruesome deaths mount, everyone is a suspect...even the girl who has stolen Razo’s heart.

Full cast and book are great!!

I was skeptical of how the 3rd book in the series would play out. Would Razzo be interesting? A side character from Goose Girl and Emma Burning? YES! I loved the book and getting to know this scrapper of a boy, who slowly matures and finds out that he is good at things and is a valued friend to many.

Old friend and new appear in the story and ever-weave the stories of Bayern and its neighboring kingdoms.

I love all of Shannon Hale's work. But the cast and performance really bring it to life

Little corny, but sweet with very poetic moments

The main plot was fairly simplistic to me, even for a young reader. However the descriptions are vivid and there are several tender moments between the characters that make it worth the read.
