Aly is sixteen and wants to be a spy for her father, but just because she wants it doesn't mean she'll get it. She tries to get her mother to side with her only to have her explode in anger, so she decides to take her ship, The Cub, to a friend's house by the coast. Unfortunately, she never gets there because she is kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave. She is lucky because she is sold to the Balitang family who is nicer towards their slaves. The family is sent into exile by their crazed king, King Oron, and Aly makes a deal. The trickster Kyprioth is a raka god and was thrown from his throne as the ruler of the Copper Isles by his sibling gods. He tells Aly if she can keep this family safe for the summer he will send her home, she is but a pawn in his greatest trick ever.
I think this book was one of the books I just am always eager to read. I really liked the type of book with all the things that made it different. It was suspenseful at parts, but it changed very quickly. The plot was complicated and at times confusing, but very well thought out. All in all this book was wonderful and very interesting to read.
