The Red Queen (The Obernewtyn Chronicles #7)
by Isobelle Carmody (Goodreads Author)
4.33 of 5 stars 4.33 · rating details · 9 ratings · 0 reviews
The post-apocalyptic fantasy series reaches its heartbreaking, world-shaking conclusion!
Award-winning Australian author Isobelle Carmody concludes the epic story of Elspeth Gordie, a heroine in the vein of Tamora Pierce's most memorable and empowering protagonists. The final chapter in the eight-book Obernewtyn Chronicles, The Red Queen is a YA fantasy novel decades in the making.
After years spent struggling to balance her desires with her responsibilities, Elspeth Gordie has fully embraced her role as the Seeker. Battle-scarred and lovelorn, haunted by memories of her beloved Rushton, Elspeth is not prepared for what she finds at the end of the black road she travels: the Compound, a lost community with a startling secret. As Elspeth strives against her captors, she learns that Rushton and her friends have fallen into the hands of the deadly slavemasters that rule the Red Land. And worst of all, as Elspeth stumbles, the Destroyer creeps ever closer to his goal: awakening the cataclysmically destructive weaponmachines that Elspeth has been charged with stopping. Has all her sacrifice been in vain?
Full of romance, action, and suspense, The Red Queen is a worthy finale to such a breathtakingly elaborate series.
(The Red Queen is the title of the final book in the series as published in Australia; a different book in the series as published in North America has also been tentatively titled "The Red Queen" but corresponds to the second half of the Australian edition of The Sending, book 6, and would not contain any part of this book.)
Paperback, Australian edition
Expected publication: September 2013 by Viking Australia
Sorry. Not true anymore. The date was pushed back to next year by Penguin
And then I saw this comment:
Will be available 1/9/2014 - as of 13/5/13 from a Penguin e-mail on release date query.
What! I don't get it
According to your comment, it seems that on the 13th May Penguin said the book will be out next September. That seems consistent - we've been told it's due out next year.
