There’s a new arrival—a mysterious and exotic young princess—at Court and Lady Grace can’t believe how many rumours there are about her already. The exiled Banoo Yasmine from Sharakand is a beautiful girl with a pet panther and, everyone believes, magical powers. Yasmine also possesses the renowned Heart of Kings Ruby, a huge stone that she wears around her neck to balls and feasts, that legend says has the power to make kings. When the famed jewel goes missing, the finger is pointed at Grace’s dear friend Ellie the laundry maid. Grace must prove her friend’s innocence, find the true thief, and restore the stone to its rightful owner.
All miscreants and ill-thinkers, keep out!

      Gr. 4-7. Running down the alphabet, " Exile" is the fifth title in the series that began with " Assassin "(2004), written by Patricia Finney, though the purported author of all the volumes is Lady Grace Cavendish, protege of Queen Elizabeth I. In this tale, a jewel is stolen from an exiled noble from Sharakand. When a laundry maid is falsely accused of the crime, Grace tries to discover the thief's identity. Less convincing than the portrayals of the English characters are the colorful but cardboard figures of the visitors from Sharakand. Still, this is an enjoyable mystery, which moves swiftly to a satisfying conclusion.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)

      Not long after exotic Yasmine, a noble exile from Sharakand, arrives at Queen Elizabeth I's court, Yasmine's famed ruby goes missing. When Ellie, a laundry maid, is falsely accused of the theft, Lady Grace sets out to discover the thief's identity. The characters are less convincingly drawn in this title than in the previous four, but the story clips along agreeably.
