But her quest for mastery of the wizard's art is threatened when the rune-carved ring of an ancient mummy catapults her and her infant son into the Shadow realm..."--Promotional material.Tags

Apt that I'm listening to a welsh piece of music while writing this cause it has a lot of influence from welsh legend. The second book in this series this does develop the characters and bring them through some tribulations which developes them and leaves a lot of openings for the next book.
Both Gwenlliant and Tryffin find themselves in the otherworld, seperately, both in search of different things but finding that their paths have some parallels. It's interesting to see them develop as characters and I do want to see what happens next.
