Westria, a medieval environment atop the physical geography of northern California, comes alive again with the next generation of rulers to be. Readers who enjoyed the earlier books in the Jewels of Power series fifteen years ago will probably like this coming-of-age tale of two young adults during a time of great changes. Even those who have forgotten the earlier books or never read them are provided sufficient background to appreciate this story on its own.
