This is the 3rd installment of the Agents of A.S.S.E.T series featuring
Sage Cymwrig. She grew up in Phoenix unaware of her mother's actual
profession as one of these buffers between the regular human and the
arcane world. Her mom died in the line of duty and Sage discovers she is
actually a Terran, one of the great lineages created with absolute
immunity to magic. Heritage obliges her to continue the family
profession, but in the previous episode she has come up against
something beyond the usual, and it's kept at bay only by being stuck to
her, literally.
This episode is about how the spreading blackness in Sage's left hand is finally remedied, and in the process, all manner of conspiracies and power schemes are exposed. Also exposed are the vulnerabilities in her partner Grey's past that have been scuttling their effectiveness as a team. While the rest of her life is literally burnt to the ground, Sage and Grey race against time to get assistance and materials for a showdown with the Goddess Herself.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. But I would gladly have gotten this action-packed heart-wringing adventure on my own.
Although there is romance, it is never explicit enough to make the series wrong for young people. The characters are much too busy surviving frequent injuries to do more than cuddle.
