We all need heroes and villains to believe in. Heroes make us believe in truth, justice and honor.  Villains reveal the evil and despair in the world. This book has plenty of both. Pursuit of truth and magic counter a ruthless desire for power in this novel and at the heart of it all is a young, female apprentice with a talent in the use of herbs and other botanicals. When her master goes missing she is instrumental in his recovery. Ienjoyed this book and took my time reading it.  Each character is likeable or despicable and well developed by author Alan Skinner.  I look forward to reading the other books he has written.
