Boy and his friend Willow (The Book of Dead Days) are still fugitives in a medieval city that resembles nightmare more than it does history. They're separated when Boy is captured by minions of the emperor, a vicious, foolish old man sequestered in a labyrinthine palace and obsessed with gaining his own immortality. As satisfyingly atmospheric as the first volume. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. All rights reserved.
