In this, the second book in the series The Assembly of Thirteen, the third Companion–the Black Companion–arises from the desert. He is born out of the most unlikely of places, with a helper of his own, attached at the hip. He has no idea who he is or what is his purpose, but his helper does. They must travel to the Athany Castle to be trained, but the opportunity to find a Gift-Vessel deflects their purpose.Kara, the second Companion, finds herself changed into the Red Companion by the Gift-Vessel Magi she must protect. She has not had time to train or prepare for the task. Tom Arensen, coincidentally with the Athany at the time of her transformation, also appears to need her protection. Yet, the Emperor wants all the Gift-Vessel Magi to be brought to the capital, but Kara knows she needs to get them to safety instead.June is returning to the Athany Castle with a crew of her own, but blocking her way stand more than mountains.Opal was left behind and her life is now in danger from the soldiers who want to capture her for the Emperor.Emperor Klastos is waiting patiently for all the Magi to be arrested. He need only kill one to protect his throne, but all eight would be ideal. Will Kara, June and the Black Companion manage to secure the safety of the eight? Will the enemies that stand between them, let them unite? In this second book, many people must work together to survive. Some will help, others may get in the way, and still others may find there are worse evils found in freedom than in captivity.
