The descriptions of these stories are true but … they don’t describe the ride along experience of this series. With these women, I experience my own integrity (or lack thereof) as they move through the world as if they own the place. Because they do.
Arca
by G.R. Macallister
The second book in the Five Queendoms series
The Drought of Girls has ended, but the rift it broke open between the Queendoms is not so easily healed. Queen Heliane of Paxim vows to make her son Paulus the nation’s first ruling King. Scorpican troops amass on the border of Arca. And Arca's young, unready queen finds her court a nest of vipers. As iron and magic clash on the battlefield and powerful women scheme behind the scenes, can anyone stop the chaos from ripping the Queendoms apart?
