Another masterful story about Sabit from Michael S. Miller. As usual, the setting is a Bronze Age land of dark magic, and it is conveyed simply yet effectively. Making the world feel real, and emergning the read in it, is always one of the strength in the Sabit stories. This time Sabit and her companion are stranded on an island, and get drawn into an age old conflicts. The story is much more suspenseful that previous entries; the changing perspectives keeps the reader guessing about what is really going on, and how things will end.
