Published in 2011, the final novel in the Beka Cooper series by Tamora Pierce continues the story of Beka and her many companions as she continues along her path to becoming a legend.

Summary[edit]

When Beka is woken by the Lord Provost in the dead of night, she must be prepared for the Hunt that will follow, soon after the death of her intended. Together with her partner Tunstall and Farmer Cape, a mage picked by Lord Gershom for the Hunt, she leaves home with no knowledge of the task at hand. Arriving at the Summer Palace, she receives a shocking welcome: over one hundred dead throughout the palace, and a Hunt given to her and Tunstall mainly due to the skills of her scent hound, Achoo. With no way of knowing who might be a traitor to the kingdom and the crown, Beka and her fellow Hunters must track down the missing Prince Gareth, only four years old, and attempt to find him before the spell placed upon him leads to the death of both monarchs and prince.
