New fantasy from New York Times best-selling author delivers a
cross-generational novel with adult and YA appeal
Instead of mentors, they got monsters . . . That's what Xerak, Vereez,
and Grunwold think when three strange creatures shimmer into being
within the circle of Hettua Shrine. Their conclusion is reasonable
enough. After all, they've never seen humans before. As for Margaret
Blake, Peg Gallegos, and Tessa Brown--more usually known as Meg, Peg,
and Teg--they're equally astonished but, oddly enough, better prepared.
Then there is the mysterious verse that Teg speaks as they arrive, words
that seem to indicate that the Shrine must have been at least partially
responding to the request made of it.
Despite doubts on all sides, the three unlikely mentors join forces with
the three young "inquisitors" and venture out into the world Peg dubs
"Over Where." First they must find the Library of the Sapphire Wind,
destroyed years before. Will they find answers there, or is this only
the first stage in their search?
