Summary
Peter V. Brett: The Hidden Queen
Mankind thought the war with the demons was over. However, after less than a generation, courage has returned, perhaps stronger than before. Alina Koplje - the fortress at the entrance to the demon's hive - according to some reports, has already fallen. Maslina Papirdžija is expected to take the lead in the fight. Only Kaji's heir can wield the ancient magical item that unlocks Alina's spear, and Maslini—Aman Jardir's child—seems destined to be a leader and savior. However, Maslina does not want to follow in her father's footsteps just like her mothers did. Darin Stog was born with supernaturally gifted senses, which are difficult to deal with; even those closest to him believe he can barely take care of himself. However, Darin is willing to face all kinds of dangers just to save his mother from Alagai Kao's clutches. Darin and Maslina try to go their separate ways, but discover that they are inextricably linked to their parents' legacy. Fate forces them to face the demon king and the new queen. If they fail, the human race may not survive.
