From Booklist
In Sund, water was once a magical agent for defense, healing, and beauty. Since conquest by Maras, which wields a different sorcery, the water is polluted, and its sources have been cut back. The magic and the talent to use it remain, however, and remembrance of the city that was keeps the impulse to rebel imminent. The magic of Maras is maintained by daughters of the sultan's officials who are taken from their families and never seen again. A general's eldest daughter, Jendre, expects such to be her fate, but when her little sister is taken instead, she feels rebellious. With Issel, a poor youth with the talent for water magic, Jendre becomes embroiled in the intrigues of court and alley and barely escapes the cutthroats infesting each. Brenchley proves a competent world-builder and a creator of most-convincing characters. If the plot is a bit confusing at first, it is the maze of motives and possible courses of action that readers, like the characters, are highly motivated to navigate. Frieda Murray
