The Glasswrights' Test

Considered a traitor by the Glasswrights' Guild due to her role in their exile to Brianta, Rani Trader gets an unexpected opportunity to go to Brianta, at the behest of the Guild, where she plans on making amends, but instead, is forced to carry out a horrible mission that puts the lives of her loved ones in danger. Original.

Ranita Glasswright is astonished and thrilled to be invited by the Glasswrights' Guild to be tested to be a master of her craft. But she is beset with misgivings. She knows that the guild has named her as a traitor for her part in its downfall and ultimate banishment from Morenia. Desperately longing for reconciliation and the opportunity to prove her skills, she makes the journey to Brianta and the guild. She quickly learns that her presence there is an element in a conspiracy to gain control of Morenia's throne, and if she fails to accomplish the heinous task set for her by the Brotherhood, the lives of those she loves will be forfeit. The gods have other ideas, though, and they present a remarkable twist in events that Rani could never have predicted. Now the fate of Morenia and Brianta lies in the hands of the Thousand Gods and in the choice of one reluctant pilgrim. Ranita is a first-class heroine with a nose for high adventure, making this adventure pretty fabulous. Paula Luedtke
