false 2625834 1 The Rys Chronicles continue as Shans rebellion grows. Queen Onja, hoping to kill Shan before he can lead his armies against her stronghold, sends her Kezanada agents to hunt him with enchanted weapons. Onja also begins to teach another rys in the ways of battle magic to aid her in the coming war. Dreibrand Veta, now Shans general, works hard to prepare their armies for the invasion of the rys homeland. Miranda struggles to be patient while her children remain hostage in Onjas household, and she dedicates herself to Shan and his rebellion even when it means breaking the strict patriarchal traditions of the larger culture. Once the armies begin to march, everyone must endure the many horrors of war. Tempers fray and ambitions flare as the costs of attacking Onja mount. But Shan stomachs his guilt over inspiring such conflict and finally challenges Onja in a duel of magic. To defend her throne, Onja summons her magic secrets that have been buried since ancient times. 2650515 21 1 2006 The Goddess Queen: The Rys Chronicles Book II total:1|5:1| 1 5 10 0 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 00:10:41 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 00:10:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 15:53:05 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 15:53:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 09 19:45:10 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 19:45:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 08 20:10:17 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 20:10:17 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 17 20:28:08 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 20:28:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Apr 29 23:47:04 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 23:47:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 30 23:42:17 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 23:42:17 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Feb 26 23:28:49 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 23:28:49 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Feb 24 11:48:35 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 11:48:35 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Feb 24 10:55:40 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 10:55:48 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2625834
