Mirra has saved her young brother from slavery and returned him to their parents, winning the trust and heart of Prince Jakut along the way. But while her brother might be safe, Mirra cannot forget all the glitter-eyed children who are not. When Tug leaves for the Hybourg to help his old acquaintance Brin, Mirra tags along, wishing to see if things have improved for slaved children in the lawless north where her brother was sold. But she doesn't expect to cross paths with the Prince of Caruca, who has come north with soldiers to find the missing Rudashean Princess. Nor does she anticipate that Brin's cry for help is a trap. To settle his debt, Brin has sold out Mirra-the shadow weaver who poisoned the unkillable Lord Strik-to a deadly, underground gang. When the deadly gang torture Tug for Mirra's whereabouts and Brin turns up with his throat slit, Mirra turns to Prince Jakut for help. She must find a way into the dark, underground gang and free Tug before he dies trying to protect her. THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO "SHADOW WEAVER". PLEASE READ BOOK 1 FIRST!
