"The world is woven of secrets."
I was born with lightning in one hand and mercy in the other, but what I need is the pattern to my tapestry of power.
Danger drove me from the primeval American wilderness to Windward Academy, where the Wizard of Manhattan offers me one last chance to learn magical control.
Windward--where every word, every breath is a test. Every lesson can be deadly. And every challenge can explode out of the schoolroom and into the realms of demons.
Sometimes a shadow is so dark it arrives before the sun.

". . .enjoy the total immersion in Kimbriel’s alternate early America"
—Publishers Weekly
"Magic and treason form a deadly maze for Alfreda, one of my favorite heroes, returning to public life in one of my favorite fantasy series. It's alternate early America; Alfreda is savvy to the life and magic of the forest, the rivers, and winter, but powers know she is alive and able, to be recruited or destroyed."
—Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
“…once in a very great while I find something I wish I'd read thirty years before it was ever published. … These books do not let you rest.”
