Eh. Seems to be part of a sort of meandering series, about a city/country/world (wasn't sure which) in Serious Trouble. (Aren't they always?)

Interesting world, nice quick read, but I don't feel any great urge to go pick up the others. At least partly, its that when I'm reading a series, I like to know what I'm in for... a defined series of known length and order, or a set of loosely connected books that each END PROPERLY. This was more like a chunk of story dropped out of nowhere. (

When a king gives an order you must obey. Even if the victim is to be you best friend. How to create things that should not be forced. I loved this one with more feeling and more deep love than the other 2. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451462688, Mass Market Paperback)

They were the best of friends: Ryland, the son of the king, is bound by loyalty. Shaye is both a majicar and a Weverton, both rebellious factions. Fairlie, a fiery metal-smith, is the iron bond that held them all together. Until now.

Crosspointe’s greatest advantage at sea is its ship’s compasses—but the compass makers are dying. Without them, Crosspointe will fall. To save his country and repel the coming Jutras invasion, the king orders Ryland to commit an unforgivable act. And soon Ryland, Shaye, and Fairlie find themselves at war…with each other.
