From #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia C. Wrede, the fantastic conclusion to her tale of magic on the western frontier.Eff is an unlucky thirteenth child...but also the seventh daughter in her family. Her twin brother, Lan, is a powerful double seventh son. Her life at the edge of the Great Barrier Spell is different from anyone else's that she knows.When the government forms an expedition to map the Far West, Eff has the opportunity to travel farther than anyone in the world. With Lan, William, Professor Torgeson, Wash, and Professor Ochiba, Eff finds that nothing on the wild frontier is as they expected. There are strange findings in their research, a long prarie winter spent in too-close quarters, and more new species, magical and otherwise, dangerous and benign, than they ever expected to find. And then spring comes, and the explorers realize how tenuous life near the Great Barrier Spell may be if they don't find a way to stop a magical flood in a hurry. Eff's unique way of viewing magic has saved the settlers time and again, but this time all of Columbia is at stake if she should fail.

Great finish.

This is an excellent ending to the Frontier magic trilogy. It is amazing to see Eff really come into adulthood, and really fun to see Hijero-Cathayan magic explored more. I'm only sad that this is the last book set in this world.

I loved this book! This book was a great ending to the Frontier Magic Trilogy and I really enjoyed the plot for this book as well as the overall plot for the series. The storyline grabbed my attention and kept me intrigued throughout the series and especially during parts of this book. I also loved watching all the interactions between all the characters as well as seeing how everything turns out.
