Description:
Life is much different for Emma now than when she lived on her grandfather's bee farm. As a Watcher in training, she now spends most of her time at the Watchers Campan undergoing her training. Her Earth mother and sister Summer live at Argadnel, where Summer is the queen, or Suzarain. But Summer is a pawn in a game, caught between powerful people. And now the woman Emma has always called Mom is dying from sickness of the spirit. She misses her husband, who was forced to remain on Eorthe with his memory wiped, and she worries about the child she has never known, the baby that was taken from her at birth.
As a Watcher, Emma should be logical and unemotional. But she cares too much about her Earth family to let them go, and her caring and her emotions cloud her judgement and interfere with her Watcher training. Emma knows that the only thing that will save her mother's life is to be reunited with her family. Emma defies her instructors and goes off on her own to find her mothers lost child and to bring the child and her father to Argadnel. The challenges she faces will test her to the utmost and only with the help of her friends and her skills as a Watcher can she hope to survive.
Mom's rating: 4.5 wands 
Mom's Review:
An exciting story that's hard to put down. Emma is the heart of the story, and it's hard not to like her. Her abilities make her different, but at her heart she is as human as any of us. You can't help identifying with her temper, her deep feelings for the people around her, and most of all, her quest to find not just her sister, but herself. The worlds are astonishing in detail, and the other characters are fascinating.
