Description
The final novel in the acclaimed Elemental Logic series finds Karis G'deon and her sprawling family once more imperiled, this time by the legacy of violence that threatens to unravel the fragile peace they have woven across their land. Laurie Marks' Elemental Logic series introduced readers in Fire Logic to the realm of Shaftal, an intricately imagined land whose people operate within the boundaries of their basic natures-here defined as logics-which sometimes bequeath them with access to magical, elemental powers and sometimes embroil them in unsolvable internal conflicts. In Air Logic, Karis and those who love her must figure out, in the aftermath of war and an assassination attempt, how to bring together Sainnites and Shaftali in a country where old wounds and enmities fester and Air magic conceals the treason hidden in the heart of the G'deon's household. When Medric is taken hostage to force Karis's hand, a strange boy will guide Zanja to the place where she may yet save him. A mother must remember the son she has been made to forget, and Air children will find what their place in the world may yet be.

Reviews
"Marks brings her much-loved, long-unavailable Elemental Logic series (most recently 2007's Water Logic, and all recently republished by Small Beer) to a superb finale. . . an extraordinary fantasy saga that's well worth revisiting or exploring for the first time." - Publishers Weekly "Shaftal is a convincing world, lovingly detailed and fiercely envisioned. Marks' characters are so real. . . . as the last note in a familiar melody, this book rings true. A final book that stays true to the spirit of the whole, sending readers out of Shaftal on a high note." - Kirkus Reviews "Marks (Water Logic) draws a satisfying conclusion to this quartet of novels perfect for readers of K. Arsenault Rivera and previous fans of the series." - Library Journal
