title: Vassal (Tir Athair) (Volume 2)
author:  Marissa Ames 
description: The feudal society that Ames has created, the intrigues involved in the opposing twin royal brothers, and the unlikely heroism of the minstrel, Liam, are wonderfully thought out and beautifully crafted. Rather than the lofty idealism that surrounds many fantasy landscapes, there is a grit and grime that is just as enchanting in the city of Cynegil. The world the author has created lives and breathes amongst the pages of her book. ---- Review of MINSTREL, by Tania Staley for Readers' Favorite
