PAPERBACK
Author: Sarah Beth Durst
The woods are hungry. The spirits are restless. And two queens stand on the edge of a war that could remake their world. THE QUEEN OF SORROW is the breathtaking finale to Sarah Beth Durst’s acclaimed Queens of Renthia trilogy.
Queen Daleina has fought relentlessly for peace in Aratay, hoping to protect her people from the deadly elemental spirits that haunt the land. At last, ruling alongside the fierce and formidable Queen Naelin, that dream seems within reach… until Naelin’s children are abducted by spirits.
Naelin will do anything to save them - even burn the world down. Convinced that the disgraced Queen Merecot of Semo is responsible, Naelin prepares for all-out war. But Merecot’s ambitions go far beyond revenge: she plans to change the fate of Renthia itself, either by ending the spirit threat forever… or plunging every kingdom into unimaginable chaos.
Epic, emotional, and filled with fierce magic, The Queen of Sorrow delivers a powerful conclusion about loyalty, sacrifice, and the lengths a mother or a queen will go to protect those she loves.
