As a junior initiate, Shar isn't officially involved but her sense of entitlement means that she soon starts secretly trying to master it herself, by getting the minor elementals she can control to "borrow" the amulet each night. Her powers mean that her experiments are far more successful than the official experiments, and she is able to teleport to distant places, but she soon realises that the amulet doesn't just take her through space, but also time. She then starts to try and control the times and places she can go back to, with the aim of killing her uncle before he can murder her parents. Unfortunately, this has repercussions with time being messed up and phantoms of the past being brought into the present, and ultimately her meddling might wreck all time and space.
As usual, Shar never thinks of others, not even her friends, but her self absorption and arrogance tip over into megalomania in this volume. When her experiment to travel without the amulet's aid fails, her reaction is telling: "It wasn't fair. She was a Daughter of Storms, she was a Dark Caller, she was special. The Maze should have worked for her, and the fact that it had not felt like a personal insult." She is an overgrown toddler - a spoilt brat as the musician Reyni called her in volume 2 - and it is baffling why her friends put up with her and like her. In this volume, she became so completely without redeeming features that, for me, she switched to being the villain that other people were trying to stop, and I was amazed by the ending
