Thanks to help from animal mage Cornelius, she’s able to retrieve the monkey and thanks to her own awesome paperwork skills she’s able to convince the Montgomery investigators that Rosebud belongs to her client – but as her team is leaving they are suddenly attacked by a weird group of creatures from the arcane realm. The folks from Montgomery Investigations believe it to be the property of a laboratory but Catalina knows it is the service animal of a twelve year old girl with a spinal injury and is determined that it will be returned to the young lady unharmed. The frightened animal is hiding in a tree, well out of reach of the angry humans pursuing it. Hot, sweaty, dirty and dehydrated she, her brother Leon and employee/friend Cornelius are in a park, in a face off with another group of investigators also seeking to recover a rare tamarin monkey named Rosebud. Not that it’s much of a life at this particular moment. Especially since an interesting character from one of those stories makes a thoroughly unexpected reappearance here.Ĭatalina Baylor has picked up the millions of pieces of her heart Alessandro Sagredo left her with and has moved on with her life.

I would not recommend starting here, since you will miss a lot of wonderful tales that provide the needed history for this story, and would recommend you at least read Diamond Fire and Sapphire Flames, the two previous works in the Catalina trilogy.

This is book five of the Hidden Legacy series, and my review necessarily contains spoilers for the novels that come before it. Since AAR requires that I write a slightly more detailed exposé, those interested in why they should make this purchase may find out more below. Awesome! Fantastic! Riveting! Buy this book! That’s the review I want to write for Emerald Blaze.
