Sister of the Dead: The Noble Dead Series by Barb and J.C. Hendee

This story rocked!!!!!!!! Each novel just keeps getting better in this series. This novel primarily focused on Magiere and her family, origins and how complicated her conception and birth were.
This book starts off the morning after the "Thief of Lives" ends. It follows Magiere, Leesil, Wynn and Chap on thier adventures to Magieres' homeland and who her father is. Magiere makes it back to her village and her aunt is in the story. I liked Aunt Beija alot and Magieres' treatment by the local villagers is horribly cruel-it is a wonder she is even sane as an adult-and goes way beyond superstitious, small minded villagers. The mystery of who fathered her is revealed and the mystery of Welstiels' interest in her is also revealed-as is Welstiels background. The novel also features a brief cameo of Magieres mom who tells her own story so to speak.
Chaps' origins, culture, choices and driving force is also explored at great length in this novel. I was starting to dislike and distrust the "fay" wolf-but this book vindicates his involvement for me.
The relationship between Leesil and Magiere also deepens and gets soemwhat interesting.
At the end of this novel Magiere, Leesil, Wynn and Chap are off to find Leesils mother Nein'a and are being followed by Welstiel and a reanimated Chane.....
