Sophie bottles a dangerous star called Elementine. Only a few people know where this start is located. The council held a tribunal for her to decide her punishment. This was a turning point in the story because it proved that Sophie had hidden information planted in her head.

I would rate the book 4 stars because it was very compelling and is great for people who like fantasy and mystery. The only problem is the climax seems very rushed and didn't come until the very last of the book.

This is Sophie's new house, Havenfield. She lives with Grady and Edaline, whose daughter died in a fire many years ago. This is very rare because no elf dies of old age. Only a few elves have ever died.
