The battle between vicious spirits and strong-willed queens that
started in the award-winning The Queen of Blood and continued in the
stunning The Reluctant Queen comes to a gripping conclusion in the
final volume of Sarah Beth Durst's Queens of Renthia trilogy . . .
Queen Daleina has yearned to bring peace and prosperity to her beloved
forest home--a hope that seemed doomed when neighboring forces invaded
Aratay. Now, with the powerful Queen Naelin ruling by her side, Daleina
believes that her dream of ushering in a new era can be realized, even
in a land plagued by malevolent nature spirits who thirst for the end of
human life.
But then Naelin's children are kidnapped by spirits.
Naelin would rather watch the world burn than see her children
harmed--and she is ready to start a war with the north to secure their
return.
But defeated Queen Merecot of Semo has grander plans than a bloody
battle with her southern neighbors. Taking the children is merely one
step in a plot to change the future of all Renthia, either by ending the
threat of spirits once and for all . . . or by plunging the world into
chaos.
