In this book, a mysterious illness strikes Summersea, the city near Winding Circle. Briar and Rosethorn are the ones assigned to helping nurse the patients back to health, and they soon realize that this is no ordinary sickness.
But Briar remains calm, working hard, until Rosethorn herself is infected with the disease. He must fight to save her life in this very touching ending to the Circle of Magic Quartet.
Wow, I sound like a real book reviewer.
Anyway, this is a really good book, you should read it and all if you're a Tamora Pierce fan.
