Summary, etc.: | When Sirscha Ashwyn restores her best friend Saengo to life, Sirscha is drawn into the domain of the Spider King and events surrounding the Dead Wood. After years of training to become the queen's next royal spy, Sirscha Ashwyn's plans are derailed when shamans attack and kill her best friend Saengo. Then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life. Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Wood to enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace-- or worse, claim Saengo. |

Author Notes
- Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2020 March #2
Orphan Sirscha Ashwyn is determined to make a place for herselfâhopefully as the queen's next royal spy. She is well prepared, with impressive sword skills; special training from her mentor, Kendara; and the support of her best friend, fellow military student Saengo Phang. Then Sirscha is ambushed in a teahouse by shamans who kill Saengoâand somehow Sirscha brings her back to life. Thus begins Sirscha's fast-paced adventure through the mysterious and dangerous Dead Wood, seeking out Ronin the Spider King. Here she learns her true nature as a soulguide, and what she actually did when she saved Saengo. The lengthy glossary that precedes the story may give the false impression the plot is hard to follow, but Lee is experienced and skilled at building intricate worlds and letting the details unfold holistically through the plot. A particularly nice feature here is the multiracial component, incorporating pan-Asian humans as well as nonhuman shamans. Imaginative, action-packed, and clearly labeled as book one, this engaging title will leave fans eager for the sequel. Grades 8-12. Copyright 2020 Booklist Reviews.
