Story
Years ago, Heart’s Eye, a school built on top of a nexus point, was attacked and captured by a necromancer. The nexus point was snuffed out, the handful of survivors forced to flee, and the once great school turned into a forward base for a necromantic invasion. All seemed lost, until Emily killed the necromancer and retook the school. Now, she intends to lay the building blocks for a university, a place where magical knowledge and mundane technology are brought together for the benefit of all. But dark secrets lie within the shadowed school.

In the summer between second and third year at Whitehall, Emily accompanies Lady Barb on her rounds of the Cairngorm Mountains, bringing magical help to the locals and searching for new magicians. For Emily, tired and broken after the events of Study in Slaughter, it should be a chance to relax as well as to visit a new part of the Nameless World, to put her responsibilities aside and just be herself. But the locals aren't quite what she expects, with problems of their own, and Lady Barb is a different person away from Whitehall.

Publisher's Summary
Every magician who wants to be great goes through an apprenticeship...a period of training under a master who will hopefully raise them to mastery themselves.
For Emily, the time has come to begin her long-awaited apprenticeship with Void. She must master her powers or risk being destroyed by them. But as Void introduces her to levels and layers of magic she never even knew existed, she finds herself fighting desperately to keep up, to defeat challenge after challenge, to prove her worth to study under him, and to survive a training course that has killed lesser magicians.
When Void sends her on a mysterious solo mission to a kingdom she's never visited, she finds herself facing a choice that could destroy her or unleash a nightmare that could destroy an entire kingdom.

Meh, Half of the book is pointless filler...
(I put in punctuation and spaces but they don't show up so blame audible for the block of text.) So, no spoilers of exactly what happens. Here is the book in 3 sections. Section 1, Emily learns magic and stuff from void, but not really. She gets "tested" which means he puts her into situations to see if she can get out of them, however none of the situations use any of the new spells she learned from him... actually there isn't a single spell named in the book, not even one, that once you read this book you can say "Emily learned (enter name here) from Void" so what does she learn in the first part? Nothing that we know of. Section 2, as another "test" Emily needs to solve a murder mystery in Voids place. However it is like one of those cheesy murder movies where everybody blames everybody but nobody is actually to blame and there is some third party to which you didn't know about and had no actual chance of knowing is the culprit meaning that this ENTIRE section is a waste of time. Emily doesn't learn anything she has no growth, nothing, just waste of time. You can skip this ENTIRE section and it doesn't matter. Section 3, The end/last 7-ish chapters. You find out what was really going on and why section 2 was pointless and you wasted your life. Here, Emily blames someone else who was under a slave/loyalty oaths of death and compulsion for the reasons to why everything is happening. He defends himself and says "what should I have done?" she says he she have just let the oaths kill him. At this point you smack your forehead and go, "But hey Emily can't they just put another person after he dies under oath and enslave them to do the same thing?" but no Emily is too dumb to care. Also the entire last 7 chapters is once again narrated in a hyperventilation type voice... so you want to scratch your ears out as Emily talks to herself in her mind about all the things that could have been done to prevent the tragedy. Even though there was literally nothing that could have been done because Slave binding pain of death oaths that can just be places on someone before they knew what they had to do.... Then the book ends, Emily having "passed"??? her test.... where she used no new magic, even though it has been months with Void and still hasn't learned anything. So You can read like the first 10 chapters, skip to the last 7 and that's all you really need to know about the plot. Disappointed. I will say that The narrator, other than like 1 chapter in the middle, only talked like she was hyperventilating at the end unlike most of the other books. So I didn't have to fast forward too much... Emily is like 25 now, went to war, killed hundreds, killed like 5 necromancers.... you would think she would stop hyperventilating. Instead of inventing guns she should have invented paper bags... Please Tavia, stop that already....

I loved the entire book and couldn't put it down it was hands down the best book since the very early books. We get to witness so much character growth from Emily here. I am so impressed with this book. It tackled so many things and aspects that I love about this world. Finally NO MORE of the WHINY Emily, nope this is a strong and powerful adult Magician!!! I can't wait for the next one to be made into an audiobook as well.

While I do like all the books in this series- this one was by far the best one yet! I actually found myself applauding Emily rather than telling her to “get her life together” like I’ve done in the other books. I honestly couldn’t put this one down!
