Sweet On Death (Der Reizen #2)

Herta Tanner is back and taking lessons in Tiel mental self-control from a former teacher of Turan’s. At least, she does until she’s accused of murder, smuggling and kidnapping. With the help of two Tiel apprentices and a former love interest, Herta must work to find the mastermind of the smugglers before the Gates between the worlds are closed forever. Aside from putting her out of a job, this would mean the death of many Tiel.

Turan, meanwhile, is under house arrest as a co-conspirator of Herta’s and has to deal with Dekalar’s illness and treachery from within his own ranks. Can he solve the mystery of the diary before the Gates are closed?

Between underworld characters following Herta and someone trying to kill both Priscilla and Krista, it seems like everything Herta does puts her further away from the solution. To add to her problems, she now has to find a new home as well as wrest the boxes of Tiel and human history from the chief prosecutor who has confiscated them as State secrets.
