Battle Magic by Tamora Pierce, 440 pages
Rosethorn, Briar and Evvy have been traveling to other lands to see their magics and the different plants and rocks that are available. They have been visiting Gyongxe and plan to go home from there but instead, they are invited Yanjing by its emperor to see the fabulous gardens. They accept and see the gardens but after they leave they find out that the emperor is planning to attack Gyongxe. Instead of heading home, they head back to Gyongxe to warn the people about the imminent attack and then stay to help fight. The Yanjing Emperor is a cruel man and the small band of mages may have finally bitten off more than they can chew. While not actually part of a series, this book deals with character first introduced in The Circle of Magic series. Fans of fantasy should like this book and, while it stands alone, readers will probably want to follow up with the other books from this world.
