It's only the first of many trials the young Sigil-Bearer faces as she returns home to Meridian to face the changes that occupation by Cadadorian soldiers have forced on her beloved home. Sephie's Uncle Ilahn, her only living relative and deadliest enemy, lies in wait. The inevitable clash between them will cost Sephie more than she could ever dream... SC, 7x10, 160pg, FC
