The Rogue by Trudi Canavan

3.0

Hard to put down.

Spoiler
Lorkin is confined to Sanctuary, the Traitor home base. The opposing faction kidnaps him, opening the way for the ruling faction to teach him stone making. They allow him to leave to open negotiations between the Traitors and Kyralia. He also begins a relationship with Tyvara.

In Kyralia, Sonea and Cery's hunt for Skellin is going poorly. Lorandra, Skellin's mother, is refusing to give up any information. Meanwhile, a spoiled novice, Naki, manages to learn black magic from a book. She seduces Lilia and tricks her into learning black magic. Naki then murders her step-father, and frames Lilia. After sentencing, Naki disappears, and Lilia escapes from prison thinking Naki needs to be saved.

In Sachaka, Ambassador Tayend arrives to represent Elyne. Ambassador Dannyl continues his search for the missing pieces of Kyralia's history. His failed rescue attempt of Lorkin hurt his political standing in Sachaka.
