Publisher Description

Ethrea is an island in the center of the most important shipping route in the world. For four hundred years, it has been a land of peace and impregnable security, a perfect trading hub—and keeper of secrets.

The King of Ethrea is dying. His only surviving heir is the princess Rhian. But if her enemies have their way, Ethrea will not be ruled by a woman.

Dexterity Jones is a toymaker. To protect Princess Rhian and his country, he must place his trust in an exile from Mijak. Yet as Ethrea comes ever closer to civil war, a greater danger awaits.

Across the sea,an empress has already slaughtered millions in the name of her god. And the war will not end—until the world kneels before her.

"This book was much more entertaining than the first in the series. I loved the kingdom of Ethrea, I liked to read about Rhian and her struggles to become the first queen. I also liked Zandakar a lot better now than in the previous book. I'm curious to part 3 and see how the world of Hekat and Rhian will clash and what the outcome will be."

    " This second book of the Godspeeker Trilogy takes us to the island kingdom of Ethrea and begins with the death of a king and a succession in question. Can a mere "woman" become accepted as the sole ruler of Ethrea? "

    " A very different perspective/feel/tone from the first book. This was a welcome change. Although I was fascinated by Empress it was an unremittingly harsh bok with no real "hero" to pull for. "

    " My favorite of the three. Zandakar returns without the annoyingly self appreciative Hekat overwhelming the narrative, and the characters of Ethrea - minus Marlan of course - are complicated and simple and easy to get caught up in. Enjoyed this one immensely. "

    " Great writing, story in which almost nothing happens; very few surprises and again it's a 100 page book, stretched to 550+; I still hope that the author can use her extraordinary writing skills and have an interesting plot, not page after page of filler... "

    " Zandakar rocks. I loved him. Could not care less about the self-righteous Ethreans or Rhian. It was shocking to find that Mijak didn't speak english. When Dexterity finds him on the boat with blue hair I was cheering to have my Warlord back. Did I mention how much I love Zandakar!! "
