I love this book! It's another exciting installment to a great series. Not all series can keep their quality throughout the entire series, but this series can! This has beautiful writing and great characters.

But the newly established peace in Mistmantle is soon under threat. A storm-ravaged ship from a distant land appears in the mists surrounding the island; a dramatic revelation about the revered Heartstone comes to light; and the extra-sensory powers of a young islander reveal the evil close at hand.
Urchin finds himself journeying to a hostile island, where the maniacal King Silverbirch and his sorcerer Smokewreath await him. There, Urchin will have to face challenges greater than those he has ever known, and in doing so he will learn a secret about his past that will change his life forever.

This is one of the rare occasions where the second book in the series is just as good as the first. Maybe even better! I loved the characters and the plot. Even though I usually don't go for fable-type stories, this is a must!
