Indigo understood. If the Takhan had been killed, then the infant
who now lay sleeping in the basket a few paces away was the rightful
ruler to Khimiz. And if the invaders should find her before Agnethe
could get her to safety, it was unlikely that either of them would see
another dawn.
WARNING!
This is the third book in a series, and reading this review without
having read book one and two might spoil some of your fun.
The story:
The first demon was defeated with fire, and Indigo and Grimya has
travelled on.
In the desert, the two friends find an exhausted woman and her infant child. She is fleeing those who threaten her daughter. Indigo tries to help her, but instead, the four of them are captured.
The new Takhan has other plans for the child; he intends to wed her at her twelfth birthday. Indigo is offered the position as the child's companion and teacher, and seeing a chance to find and defeat the demon, she accepts.
Thoughts about the book:
In her attempt to do what is right, Indigo ends up hurting those she
cares about. Her own personal feelings interfere with her hunt for
the demon. Though not the deepest of the books, this is a good
story.
The end will surprise you, and against Louise Cooper shows that things
aren't always what they seem.
