Shingebiss, not yet a shaman, decides to go to the Czar and use all her gifts to save the Northlands from development. Working on the unpredictable monarch, caught in a world where he is half mad from distrust and his god-like treatment, is tantalisingly difficult. This third book of the sequence is still rich and deeply powerful. It's full of, the physical awfulness of human existence and human fears and the magic of storytelling which veers between the safe and dangerous, the fascinating and the uncomfortable.
