Jenna Glass

Woman's war, 3

"The third and final book in Jenna Glass's riveting feminist fantasy, following The Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted. In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own reproduction, and two special women now sit two thrones, but the battle for equality is very far from over. Those men still in power are determined to revert the world to the way it was before women gained an edge, whereas the women know there are many more strides to be made before full equality can take effect. But now, into this struggle, comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former king of Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women reproductive control, but he has gained a fearsome death magic in return. And it is an ability that he is determined to use to unmake the world, if he cannot bring it back to the way is was. As the male rulers ally behind him, a war seems inevitable--and a female victory all but impossible. Yet sometimes, three determined individuals can stem a tide, and now it comes down to another unique triad of women--maiden, mother, and crone--to risk everything not only preserve the advances they have won, but to change the world irrevocably yet again"--, Provided by publisher
