About the Book
The Thirteen Orphans and their allies have
opened the ninth gate into the Lands Born from Smoke and Sacrifice... and discover that the Lands have been altered almost beyond
recognition, transformed by magic into an apparently uninhabited world
where land shifts beneath one’s feet and fire burns blue. Investigating, the Orphans learn that the Center of the world is sealed
behind nearly-impassable barriers composed of each of the five elements
of Chinese myth. Combining ancient and modern magics, a scouting party
penetrates the barriers, only to be captured and given over to tortures
designed to separate the Orphans from their magical abilities.
On
Earth, Pearl Bright, the Tiger, is attacked — is this treachery by our
world’s magical traditions or has one of the Orphans betrayed her? Brenda Morris learns of the Orphans’ dangers when it is nearly too
late — but along with the sidhe, who are drawn to her Irish heritage, Brenda risks her life to help rescue those trapped in the Lands.
A story of betrayal and redemption, of bravery in the face of terror, and of loyalty and hatred that reach beyond the grave, Five Odd Honors continues Jane Lindskold’s stunning Breaking the Wall series.
