Queen of Sorrow

Queen Dalenia believes she can bring about peace with the powerful Queen Naelin by her side, but Naelin's children are captured by spirits and things start to fall apart.

Queen Daleina's dreams of bringing peace and prosperity to her forest home seemed doomed when neighboring forces invaded Aratay. Now, ruling alongside Queen Naelin, those dreams seem closer... even in a land plagued by malevolent nature spirits who thirst for the end of human life. When Naelin's children are kidnapped by spirits, Naelin blames Queen Merecot of Semo for the kidnapping. But taking the children is merely one step in a plot to change the future of all Renthia, either by ending the threat of spirits once and for all-- or plunging the world into chaos. -- adapted from jacket
