Plot summary

The book takes place shortly after the events in Green Jasper and follows Will, Ellie, Kamil, and Hosanna as they try to deliver the ransom for King Richard. This proves to be difficult, as the leader of the Assassins is seeking revenge against Kamil and is willing to organise a huge betrayal to do so.

Reception

Critical reception for the book was mixed.[2] Booklist wrote that the book's portrayal of horses was one of its highlights, but that "the author's shifting focus makes it hard to decide just who the protagonist is".[3] The School Library Journal also gave a mostly positive review, stating that the book was "satisfying, though perhaps somewhat contrived".[4]
