Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 4 1/4 stars
In this interesting beginning to the Relic Master series, 16 year old Raffi is an apprentice to Galen of the old Order--a group with some mystical powers who are able to manipulate certain old relics from times past. The Order is now hunted mercilessly down by the Watch, a brutal army-like organization, although most villagers still support the Order in secret. Carys is one of the Watch, acting as a spy, trying to bring in Galen dead or alive. But when she finally makes contact, she is surprised to find that the "tricks" the Watch told her about have roots in truth. And as Galen and Raffi work their way towards the ruined city of Tasceron to try and find salvation for Galen's lost powers, Carys joins their quest. Can the unlikely trio find what they are looking for? A great, fascinating beginning to the series. Readers will want to move onto book 2, The Lost Heiress.
