Book description
The ultimate test... Rani Trader has finally been summoned by her
exiled Glasswrights Guild, invited to test for the rank of master. Rani
has craved such acceptance for years, and she has high hopes that all
her past mistakes will finally be forgiven. Rani journeys to Brianta,
the religious center of all the land. Soon, she is cut off from her
long-trusted companions, isolated by the glasswrights who have long
memories of past betrayals. Surrounded by religious fanatics, sickened
by long hours of study, Rani soon realizes that she will be tested on
far more than her knowledge of glassmaking--and the lives of loved ones
hang in the balance. Mindy's travels took her through multiple
careers. After graduating from Princeton University, Mindy considered
becoming a professional stage manager or a rabbi. Ultimately, though,
she settled on being a lawyer, working as a litigator at a large
Washington firm. When she realized that lawyering kept her from writing
(and dating and sleeping and otherwise living a normal life), Mindy
became a librarian, managing large law firm libraries. Mindy now writes
full time. Mindy's travels have also taken her through various literary
genres. In addition to her Red Dress Ink books, Mindy has written
numerous short stories and six fantasy novels, including the
award-winning, best-selling The Glasswrights' Apprentice.
