Old enemies. New challenges. Ina is thegn, but can she be queen?
Ina Svanunge is officially the Thegn of Svartån and the chances of her becoming the High Queen of Lohikärra increase steadily as she and Haldrek grow closer. But with the Isillas conflict behind her, there arises an even bigger the Blodnar Empire from the south. An empire still bent on subjugating Lohikärra and its people. To make matters worse, the capital city of Drattüjert is still under Blodnar control. Drattüjert is the spiritual heart of Lohikärra, and Lohikärra will never be whole without its heart. Ina and her fellow thegns have a plan to take it back, but there are traitors amongst their ranks determined on obtaining their own power and glory. The last thing Ina's beloved country needs is the emergence of a necromancer intent on destroying both Lohikärra and its dragons entirely.
When traitorous calamity strikes, Ina and Haldrek are forced into a race against time to save their loved ones, Lohikärra, and even Ina's hometown, Fargo.
Will Ina and Haldrek be able to save both their worlds? Or will they lose everything they've been fighting for?
Queen of Drattüjert is a traditional young adult portal fantasy featuring a Norse inspired fantasy world, as well as elements of progression fantasy and Gamelit. It is perfect for those who enjoy stories by Anthea Sharp, Ramy Vance, or Michael Chatfield.
Life is not easy for Ina. Just being the Thegn of Svartån is a challenge. Too many people see her as the weak link for themselves to gain the power that they want. As a young woman, being married presents difficulties that she had really considered previously. And being married to Haldrek means she has to step up to become the Queen of Drattüjert. The intrigue in the court politics goes much deeper than she imagined. An unexpected trip back to Fargo becomes a nightmare.
Another non-stop action story featuring a young woman finding herself and leading her people. A very enjoyable read.
Ina and Haldrek struggle through constant danger as forces try to rip them apart, use them, or kill them to prevent them from becoming High King and High Queen. I like. the action, humor, intrigue, and romance. I look forward to the next book.
