Odwar vs. the Shadow Queen
From the Series The Intasimi Warriors
Will Odwar learn the lesson that strength of heart is the most powerful strength of all?
After their spectacular showdown against the Red Oloibon, Odwar and his friends are hoping for a bit of a breather. But Odwar has to find his Entasim—the powerful heirloom inherited from his warrior ancestor—and he has to find it now. The Shadow Queen, raging with anger at having been trapped in the shadow world for so long, has a new target in her sights. Can Odwar and his friends stop her from feeding on humanity’s darkest emotions and breaking into the light?
An action-packed story of bravery and determination, this second book in the monster-filled world of a parallel Nairobi shows us that when physical strength fails us, strength of heart will conquer all.
