Back Cover: The wizard of gems. A
gemcutter’s daughter, Jena
yearns to create jewelry for the Diadem
Court – until the night a mysterious noble
appears, wearing a ring only Jena
can see. Its touch transports her to a distant fortress, where Jena learns that she possesses incredible,
undreamt-of magical powers. Now, faced with a murderous plot for control of the
Adamant Throne, Jena
must master two sources of wonder. For only a wizard can wield the magic able
to save the Diadem, and only a gemcutter can cleave the facets of sorcery that
threaten to shatter the world. But only a woman can see the truth through a binding
prism of ambition and fate…
This is one of those great fantasy
stories that sticks with you. It has all the great plot twists, with magic,
intrigue, and court dynamics. Jena is your unlikely heroin who is learning all
about magic on the fly. Her only dream was to be a gemcutter and marry her
tailor boyfriend. Then she finds herself far from home and not quite sure how
she got there or how she is going to get home. She also has to find Lord
Morgan, which turns out to be quite an interesting feet. But with the help of
her new allies they are able to work wondrous magic. I loved this story the
first time I read it. I found that it was one of those books that you just
couldn’t put down. And have recommended it to many people who love fantasy.
