This second book of “The Rys Chronicles” brings the rebellion started in the first book “Union of Renegades” to an astonishing conclusion.
Onja, the Goddess Queen, who has ruled the tribal kingdoms of the west for over 2,000 years, is not as weak as her rival, Shan, had hoped. Although he has broken the grip of her religion on his tribal allies, she remains terribly powerful. She has a legion of ghost warriors, whose souls are held in her unyielding grip, to call upon should Shan and his allies draw too close to her mountain fortress.

Excerpt from “The Goddess Queen”
Shan had been away too long from his mountain homeland and he breathed deeply of the highland air. Standing near the tree line, he looked up and reveled in the vivid majesty of the frozen peaks. He could feel the thin high air moving over the forbidding heights and the sensation renewed his soul and filled him with vitality.
Dragging his dreamy black eyes from the craggy snowy places that no one could touch, he focused on the Jingten Pass. The gateway beckoned even if Shan did not feel welcome. The army of the Zenglawa blocked the way, and Shan could sense the thousands of warriors as easily as he could see the meadow that he strolled in.
Shan fought the impulse to blast the obstinate Zenglawa off the slopes of his beloved Rysamand. Killing them so wantonly would be evil, and Shan was determined to be a better rys than Onja.
Miserably he cursed Atathol, wishing he could have convinced the Zenglawa to join the rebellion, or at least abstain. Instead, the mean spirited Atathol had remained doggedly loyal to Onja, and now many Zenglawa would die.
Shan understood now why the Zenglawa had waited in the pass instead of attacking the Temu Domain. Onja wanted to insure that the battle with Shan would take place in the pass. On the slopes of the Rysamand, her power could still reach and Shan knew he would soon feel the sting of her magic.
Even now her presence was on the land. Onja was watching him and coiling for the strike.
