BlurbA virulent disease sweeps through the Sawblen Province. The source is unknown. As hundreds fall victim, the healers race to contain it and find a cure before it engulfs the realm, but a would-be healer complicates the situation by concocting dangerous drugs.
While the officials are distracted, a counterfeiter takes
advantage of the events. Credentials and money are faked, putting several lives
in peril and resulting in deaths.
The Great One's council and sage population hurry to track
down the sources of the trouble and right the multiple crises before anyone
else falls prey to the events. Rare natives of the planet have important
information to impart if the sages can decipher their cryptic message.

My Review:
There were some things that I really liked about this book. I liked the way they grew healing "plants". I love to grow aloe and always have it on hand. I also really enjoyed the fact that the book including a plot about saving the Earth. . What I like the most however were the Cat like creatures that could talk to each other and they were trying to help find a cure.
The Author made this really easy to read and follow and I was drawn into this universe. As easily as if I was riving down the street and crossed town lines. I can imagine that young adults would love to read this book and get lost in its pages.
I also got a cop of the first book in this series, and I have to admit that the two books stand pretty good on their own, however the first book adds more background to the second. I also love the cover! The counterfeiter was a good character to dislike and the dangerous drugs that are being made only add to the drama. I definitely recommend this book, and the book before it! am giving the book a 4/5 because even though I really liked it, there was nothing that stood out to me. I can not wait to see if a third book will be coming out!
About the Author
Holly Barbo's world is shaped by her love of her family, the beauty of the natural world in Northwest Washington State and an irrepressible creative drive.
Living where the scenery is incredible with a rich abundance of wildlife "is so special and soothing that it feels like a quiet kind of magic," according to Barbo. She is drawn to creating stories where there is just a bit of something unworldly, perhaps it is magic or psychic skills. Her stories are mostly in non-urban settings and usually have some focus on nature, building a discordant drama inside the peaceful frame.
