They are all on a quest to find a Welsh king, Glendower, who will grant them a wish when he woken up. This is the second book in the Raven Cycle series. I enjoyed reading and learning more about the characters especially Ronan Lynch. This is because I think he is the most interesting and complicated character in the book.

stunned. Help? Edmund’s prattle had skipped with such confidence that James half believed he already knew the answer, but it turns out Edmund wholly knew nothing--the newt hadn’t just presented himself, he had sacrificed himself, and even bargained to do so. James yanked Pip and Sheena into a huddle. They needed an answer. “Think!” he said, unable to do so himself. Sheena processed out loud, “More than life. Perhaps love? No, a contended man would not desire that…” Pip bit his thumb and stared…
