Trickster's Queen (overview taken from www.bn.com)
The native people of Copper Isles, the raka, know that the ancient prophecy handed down their trickster god is on the brink of coming to pass. But what they don't know is that all their hopes rest on the slender shoulders of Aly Homewood -- formerly Alianne of Pirate's Swoop.
From
daughter of the powerful to slave in a foreign land, Aly is also a
pivotal leader in the underground movement to put a new queen on the
throne. Witty, intelligent, and a talented spy, Aly is used to staying
two steps ahead of the action. But with new adversaries -- and a
faltering romance -- Aly is blind to the threat that lurks right under
her nose. What will happen if the queen-to-be is lost?
In this dramatic sequel to Trickster's Choice, Tamora
Pierce examines the power of loyalty, family, and friendship in the
face of adversity. And in doing so, she gives us the stories of three
unforgettable young women discovering who they are and who they want to
become.
Aly
fails to foresee the dangers that await as she uses her magic to
safeguard Dova and her younger siblings, despite knowing that her
thirteen-year-old charge might be queen of the Copper Isles when the
colonial rulers are defeated.
