Review Summaries
"This is the sequel to Once A Hero. Esmay Zuiza and Brun Meager should be friends, but instead Brun thinks Esmay's is a stuck-prig and Esmay thinks Brun is a spoiled rich kid who is after her boy friend. When Brun is captured by a religious militia movement, everyone thinks Esmay connived at the capture and her family doesn't want her anywhere near the rescue attempt. In the meantime, Brun is determined to escape herself."
