Out of nowhere a book appeared by one of my favorite authors.
After the events of Duel at Araluen, the brotherband of the Heron have returned to Skandia. When they arrive home they are directed by the Oberjarl to conduct reconnaissance on a border incursion by a combative neighboring country.
The Heron at points has to be portaged up some waterfalls but using their combined ingenuity they get to the lake and conduct surveillance on the warring tribe. After being slighted in Duel, Lydia is used much more in this story.
The crew of the Heron helps negotiate a peace for a while between the Skandians and the Temujai, but it is at cost that will make for an interesting next book.
10/10
