Excellent adventure, and a nice follow-on from Lustbader's Sunset Warrior trilogy. (Yes, I still think of those books as a standalone set, even though the fourth and fifth books take place in the same world.)
The scenes are well-portrayed and the characters enigmatic. The plot develops through a series of revelations to a satisfying conclusion that is similar in its approach to that used in Lustbader's other books.
