Discover the magic of Trudi Canavan with her brand new novel in the Traitor Spy Trilogy... Living among the Sachakan rebels, Lorkin does his best to learn about their unique magic. But the Traitors are reluctant to trade their secrets for the Healing they so desperately want. Meanwhile, Sonea searches for the rogue, knowing that Cery cannot avoid assassination forever --- but the rogue's influence over the city's underworld, however, is far greater than she feared. And in the University, two female novices are about to remind the Guild that sometimes their greatest enemy is found within...
In Sonea, het aangrijpende vervolg op de Zwarte Magiërs-trilogie, waarin de brutale Sonea opgroeide van kruimeldief tot gevreesd magiër, vervolgt Trudi Canavan het bewogen levensverhaal van de - inmiddels volwassen - Sonea en haar zoon Lorkin. Sinds Lorkin bij de Sachakaanse rebellen onderdak heeft gevonden, doet hij zijn uiterste best om hun unieke magie te begrijpen. De rebellen zijn echter niet van plan hun geheimen zomaar te delen, ook niet in ruil voor wat Lorkin hun te bieden heeft. Sonea is nog steeds op zoek naar de moordenaar die haar stad in zijn greep houdt, bang dat een van haar vrienden de volgende op zijn lijst is. Maar de dader krijgt hulp vanuit de onderwereld, en dat maakt het wel heel moeilijk hem te pakken te krijgen.
Events are building to a climax in Sachaka as Lorkin returns from his exile with the Traitor rebels. The Traitor Queen has given Lorkin the huge task of brokering an alliance between his people and the Traitors. Lorkin has also had to become a feared black magician in order to harness the power of an entirely new kind of gemstone magic. This knowledge could transform the Guild of Magicians - or make Lorkin an outcast forever. THE TRAITOR QUEEN is the triumphant conclusion to the Traitor Spy trilogy, which began with THE AMBASSADOR'S MISSION and continued with THE ROGUE.
