Ranira is a bondservant to an innkeeper in Drinn, a city where magic is forbidden by the Temple and Raniras parents were burnt as witches. When a sorceress and two warriors come to stay at the inn, everyone at the inn is imprisoned by the priests and Ranira must work with the strangers to escape and defeat the evil the temple is protecting.
Apparently I'd also read this and it did feel a bit familiar but I couldn't remember anything. I liked this least of the Lyra novels I've read, mainly because to me it felt unfinished.

Typical so far ( )

Interesting but not her best.
