But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Or sha, Z lie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath. With civil war looming on the horizon, Z lie finds herself at a breaking point: she must discover a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Or sha tears itself apart.

    The bowl is a replacement for the original that I purchased years ago. It was a nice surprize to see it again in pristine condition and I've already used it twice. The packaging was excellent as was the price. The item was shipped promptly and arrived in a timely manner.
