Cast out from her village for losing the precious needles needed by the townswomen, 11-year-old Lale finds a home with Makina, the ruler of Tamurin, who trains the girl as an assassin and sends her to the land of Bethiya to destroy its ruler, the Sun Lord, Terem Rathai. In Bethiya, however, Lale finds herself drawn to both the country and its ruler, and she begins to question her loyalties and her devotion to her cause-despite the danger to herself for disobeying her mistress. This fantasy debut by Tower (a pseudonym for a Canadian husband-wife writing team) features a determined young heroine who struggles to retain her honor in the face of conflicting allegiances. A good choice for fantasy and YA collections. Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
