The second fabulous story in the Godspeaker trilogy ...
The King of Ethrea is dying and his only surviving heir is the Princess Rhian, but if her enemies have their way the kingdom will not be ruled by a Queen.
Ethrea, a small island of strategic importance, is known for its ability to keep the secrets of its business partners. Now civil war threatens as men of ambition eye the empty throne, and the other nations are getting nervous ... and greedy.
If Rhian cannot secure the crown, others will descend and conquer her lands. A toymaker and a mysterious exile from Mijak may be her only hope ...

Sidenote: For a moment, I thought I was reading another book entirely. You find yourself in another Kingdom with a different culture and outlook compared to the Empress of Majik. The worldbuilding of The Riven Kingdom is to be the complete opposite Majik. What it brought to mind was a carpenter tirelessly building a sturdy foundation block by block, until a shape is formed that can stand even the strongest of earthquakes. Karen Miller devotes an entire book to the imagination of a Kingdom wholly different from her first, in both it's people, their cultures, tradition, and most importantly...Religion.
