In this third novel of the Family Spies series, set in the best-selling
world of Valdemar, Heralds Mags and Amily's youngest child must follow
in his parents' footsteps to protect both his family and the realm.
Thirteen-year-old Prince Kyril and Mags and Amily's 14-year-old son,
Tory, "share" the Gift of Farsight - although neither of them are
Chosen. They are self-trained, though currently, their shared Gift only
allows them to see what is happening with their immediate family
members.
After much debate, the Herald's Collegium has decided to test and train
them anyway. That's when the surprises start. They do not share a single
Gift; they have two complementary Gifts working together in a way that
the Heralds have never seen before. Tory is the Farseer - Kee's Gift is
to extend his range beyond a few dozen feet.
Their Gifts become crucial when Mags gets a desperate message from his
cousin Bey, the head of the enigmatic assassin-tribe, the Sleepgivers.
Bey's eldest daughter has been kidnapped, but he doesn't know why or by
whom. He's calling in the debt Mags owes him to find his daughter before
it's too late.
Tory is certain that if anyone can find her, he can. But that will mean
traveling out of Valdemar into an unknown, dangerous country. And it
will mean taking a Royal Prince with him.
