Fourteen-year-old Nita is in Ireland, spending the summer with her aunt. As a young wizard, Nita is fascinated by the forces at work in this ancient land. Sometimes, the world seems to be shifting sideways into another dimension. Layers of history, rich with battles between superhuman tribes, lurk beneath the surface of every moment. When Nita discovers that her aunt is a wizard, too, Nita realizes that this summer will not be a vacation. Ireland truly is in danger: her past is breaking into the present.

After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken to replace the fallen, an old man is out for revenge. He’s ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him that it was impossible. Then, he quietly ignored them, rubbed his hands together, and started anyway. He had always failed in what he did. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate...no matter what it cost him.

Publisher's Summary
Children love Diane Duane's works for their fast-paced combination of sorcery and suspense. She adds wonderful technological twists to this third book in her Young Wizard series, and narrator Christina Moore's voice adds just the right touch of magic.
Critic Reviews
"Duane is tops in the high adventure business....Deftly pairing comic and sensitive scenes, this rollicking yarn will delight readers as they watch Darine's transformation from pesky kid sister to strong-willed heroine." (Publishers Weekly)
"Christina Moore's narration imbues Darine with intelligence, impatience, and arrogance....Moore's vocal flexibility truly shines through." (AudioFile)

Great Book, Unique Narrator
Ive read the books before, and loved them greatly. The narrator makes this book even more special. While Christina Moore (The narrator) may not have a wide range of tones, she excells at different cadence and accents for the realistic characters found in this book.

And the series marches on....
Okay, if you've read the first two books, you're going to read this. And you're going to be surprised.
I always felt that the earlier books had a Heinlein flavor... it really comes through in this book, which adds a heavy sci-fi element to the mix.
I am still amazed at how intelligent these books are, and how much thought went into the rules of the world.
Of course, it has the compelling characters that brought us this far, and I really love what she did with Darine.

An exciting POV shift.
Nita's sister gets in on the action when she's suddenly able to understand the Wizard's Oath page in Nita's manual. The changed wording of the Oath took me a bit by surprise. I wonder if the wording evolves throughout different times and cultures? And something Nita thinks in regards to her father in the second book has a small payout as Harry is allowed to see a translated version of the Oath and doesn't jump at the chance to take it.
The alternating POV between Ni\ta and Dairine can be a little jarring sometimes, until you get used to it, but getting to hear Dairine's inner thoughts is very interesting, as we learn what drives her. Not one of my favorite books in the series as Dairine can be a little tiring sometimes, but still a good story.
As always, Christina Moore is a joy to listen to.

Not My Fav.
This is what I felt like when I read this for the first time as a preteen:
One of my least favorites of the series. Dairine was one okay. She wasn't really my favorite up until now. The trouble is that taking that okay character and giving her an entire book where she's better than the other characters combined just wasn't something I was interested in.
I think I'll have to reread this particular book to see if my viewpoint has changed. I'm sure it has, and I think I'd be more willing to like Dairine because of her proficiency with computers.
