Sestia
by G.R. Macallister
The final book in The Five Queendoms series
The Drought of Girls has ended and a fragile peace has begun to settle across the Five Queendoms. But trouble brews beneath the smooth façade. The first gate between the Underlands, where Eresh rules over the shades of the dead, has already been opened. And the scheming shade of a dead sorcerer has evil plans.
As living women across the Queendoms take desperate action to stay alive, and dead women plot to regain what they’ve lost, five queens gather in the Holy City of Sestia for the most important ritual of their lives.
