The Traitor Queen (The Bridge Kingdom Book 2)

Product Information

Plagued by guilt and shame for her role in the deaths of countless Ithicanians, she is determined to do everything in her power to right things – to the extent that they can be righted. The Traitor Queen picks up shortly where The Bridge Kingdom ends off, with Lara being held in the dungeons, while her sister-in-law, Ahnna, decides what to do with her. Still grappling with accepting the progressively vivid memories of the long-dead Mirar, the Dreamweaver, Leiard, seeks refuge in the mountains with Emerahl, the powerful and only surviving member of the Wilds. That alone should tell you how good of a book this is, as I am not one to easily lose track of time.

Welcoming Lorkin to the Traitors has however come at a cost to Dannyl, who has now lost the respect of the Sachakan elite. And while wanting them to work out their issues, you understand why Aren is so angry and heartbroken.

It was a thrilling adventure from page one to the end, and while I am bummed that Aren and Lara's story is done, I am excited for where the rest of the series is headed. We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Although Sonea is aware that all the other novices in the Magicians’ Guild come from powerful families, she knows that she can always run to Rothen and Dannyl for assistance. And while the romance was light in this book - I mean, hard to get romantic with everything going on - the moments there is romance, makes it much more meaningful.

But the key to everything may very well lie with the Wilds, who launch a mission to unravel long buried secrets which could change the world.Two other notable characters we meet in this book are Keris, Lara’s brother and heir to the Maridrinian throne, and Zarrah, heir to the Valcottan throne. Though originally planned as a trilogy, a fourth and final book in the Millennium's Rule series was published.

I think you'll not drop those trousers of yours so easily knowing that all the pretty mouths you surround yourself with have teeth. This prequel to The Black Magician Trilogy is set hundreds of years before the events of The Magicians’ Guild. That however didn’t happen, and so she took a leap of faith and quit her full time job before starting a freelance illustration and design business. Aren finding Lara trying to stitch herself up after she is injured in the fight, and him helping her.In that same year she began working for Aurealis, a magazine of Australian Fantasy and Science Fiction, working a do-it-all job as art and cover editor, reading manuscripts, creating web pages and stuffing envelopes. When Trudi was younger, she naively thought that she would have written a book by the time she was twenty-five. Jensen is the second book in her Bridge Kingdom series, and finishes off the story between the King and Queen of Ithicana - Aren and Lara. The pageantry of ritual dances, festivals to the Earth Mother and Poseidon, the daring and skill of young men and women trained as Bull Leapers for the Cretan Bull Games, the luxurious court of Knossos with its frescoed walls, its Nubian Guard, its slaves - all the fascination of this ancient civilization comes vividly to life in a story of very real people and emotions. Cery, an old friend of Sonea, not only has a powerful position among the Thieves but is also well connected in high and low places.

Leaving the city she could however lead to her banishment while her old friend Cery needs her help now more than ever. At the time that she was chosen to become a priestess, Auraya could never have imagined that she would be one of the White, the gods’ most powerful servants, just a decade later. In 1995 Canavan started The Telltale Art, a freelance business specialising on graphical design services. Although women are hardly ever accepted by the Guild of Healers, that doesn't deter the resolved Tessia.Despite being the biggest advocate for peace, being the protector of the Siyee, Auraya still finds herself in the middle of a simmering conflict. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities.
