Book Two of The Standard Book of Anything Trilogy

After saving her town from certain destruction, Em Strider is languishing. No one in Brookerby needs her help anymore. Longing to feel useful again, she travels the countryside saving strangers from their unbreakable oaths—despite her friend Gram’s reminders that treason is frowned upon.
Gram’s warnings prove wise when the Empress summons Em to account for her crimes. Death is the sentence for treason, but the Empress offers an alternative: find and retrieve the legendary ring of the first Emperor before the winter solstice and Em will be pardoned.
During her search for the long-lost ring, Em navigates a deadly maze, joins a mountain colony of magic users, sees the return of an old enemy, and protects an oppressed northern people at risk of having their history eradicated. Meanwhile, the solstice draws ever closer. With time almost up, will Em find the Lost Ring of Destiny? And if she does, will she deliver it to her unjust sovereign—or follow her conscience into open rebellion?

Emaline Strider fixes everything that breaks in her small village of Brookerby. When the Warding Tree of Protection crashes to the ground and cripples the town, Em is up for the challenge of finding a solution. As she travels south to the glamourous capital city, she finds magic all around her.

Suddenly, a simple repair has become a race against the empire to save the only home she has ever known.
