Alissa is steadily advancing in her magical studies with the last surviving Master at the legendary Hold. But she’s haunted by dreams—dreams revealing that other Masters have survived.
Alissa’s dreams lead her to a distant island where she and a rescue party discover countless Masters, alive and part of a flourishing magical society. But instead of being welcomed, Alissa finds that she herself may need to be rescued. The Masters’ leader, Keribdis, believes that she should be Alissa’s teacher, whether Alissa likes it or not. When Alissa rebels, she endangers not only her magic but also her life.

"I was a little bothered by the plot device that began this book: Alissa has apparently been sharing dreams with another young raku during the previous three books, but the author never mentioned it. Despite that, the book is very good, and so exciting that I stayed up all night to finish it. :) "

“A world rich with vivid detail.”
— Deborah Chester, author of The Queen’s Knight“Like its predecessors, this is delightful reading. Its cast of characters is small (a refreshing relief from the multitudes in other epics) and well limned, its world richly detailed, and its magic wonderfully believable. A terrific late-night companion.”
— Booklist" The conclusion to the Truth series and my favorite of the four books. Alyssa comes into her own and confronts the long lost others of her kind. The romantic triangle ends the way I wanted it too and delightful new characters are introduced. I loved the proposal and wedding scenes. "

— Tracy, 1/19/2014" The last and best book of this extraordinary series. Very well written and not near as predictable as I was afraid it would be. It can be a bit heart wrenching in spots but well worth it. "
— Christina, 1/16/2014" The only thing was disappointed about was that the story ended. And I didn't have a follow up book to read. *sigh*. I loved the ending--had me in tears during part of the story. Terrific read throughout the 4 book series. :) "
— Terry, 1/5/2014" I like that it tyes down every single loose knot. "
— Adiel, 1/5/2014" I was sad to finish this series. It was well written and I became attached to the characters. I'll miss them. I may actually read the whole thing again and that's saying a lot because there are only rare books that I want to revisit. I can strongly recommend this fantasy. "
— Diane, 12/26/2013" And, done! An entertaining enough series, and aptly targeted toward young adults. Everything was smoothly resolved and the end was just as satisfying as a 15-year-old girl would want it to be. "
— Emily, 12/24/2013" Amazing ending. In this story, Allisa is tested. If you've read this series and have made it this far, I hope you aren't disappointed, because I certainly wasn't! "
— Jezza, 12/5/2013" Very nice way to wrap up the series. Highly recommend the entire series to anyone who likes fantasy. "
— Kelly, 12/2/2013" How I wish this series had ten more books! Great writing and amazing world! A breath of fresh air, magic made with technical boundaries with amazing plot lines. I am in love with this series and am very sad and glad to have finished it. There needs to be more books like this!!! On to the next... "
