Editorial Reviews:
The conclusion to the epic Wren saga rejoins author Sherwood Smith's four fast friends - Wren, Tess, Connor, and Tyron - but much has changed, and the group is pulling in different directions. Tessa, now queen of Meldrith, has her hands full with the bellicose Hawk Rhiscarlan, who has proved a polarizing figure for the old friends, attracting Wren's ire and Tess' eye. Wren decides to leave Meldrith and take up a new journeymage charge with a group of sailors. On the high seas, the magician finds herself up against smugglers, pirates, and - for the first time in ages - romance. Striking a tone at once epic and whimsical, performer Andi Ackerman - a veteran voice of Smith's work - lends lush and captivating role playing to this eccentric cast.

Adventurous Ending for a Delightful series
After a disastrous argument with her best friend Queen Teressa over the impending visit of the odious Hawk who Teressa wants to court, Wren takes the suggestion of her friend court wizard Tyron and leaves for the Summer Isles in search of their missing friend Prince Connor. The story swings between following court life as the courtship of Teressa and Hawk plays out and everyone holding their collective breaths for Hawk to show off his true colors and for Teressa to open her eyes and see Hawk for who he truly is rather than just the rose-tint of lust and the adventure of Wren who soon finds herself kidnapped and pressed into service as a deckhand on a pirate ship. And like clockwork, the scraggly head of Andreas, the villain through all of the other books in the series eventually pops up to make Wrenâs journey even more of a trial as he is marshalling forces for a future invasion.
I know other reviews have criticized this for being shorter than the other books, and for not having the same feel as the rest of the books. For me, the length seemed about the same, as for having the same feel, itâs true the children have grown up with this book, so they are entering teens, so while the other books have read more like childrenâs books, this was definitely a step into the YA field with tentative experimenting with romance. And while others werenât that happy with the match ups, I certainly was since I really wanted for Connor to finally have someone who could accept him and love him back.
