Arca
Arca | G.R. Macallister
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Return to the Five Queendoms in the sequel to Scorpica, a sweeping epic fantasy that Rebecca Roanhorse called ambitious and engaging, in which a centuries long peace is shattered in a matriarchal society when decades pass without a single girl being born. In the sequel to Scorpica, a few years have passed within The Drought of Girls, an odd plague which has caused no girls to be born across the Queendoms. In these matriarchal societies, having the monarchy pass onto a prince is causing rifts and stressing long-buried tensions between the Queendoms. Now, we find Scorpicae upon the borders of Arca, setting camp within the desolate red stones of this haunted land the Arcans shunned. The Scorpican queen, Tamura, has become vicious and eager for war, and yet there are larger stirrings. The undead shades of the Underworld roaming, and dark magics are gaining power. The passage between worlds is opening, and something terrible is coming.

Check out Greer Macallister Facebook page for one-day flash giveaway to celebrate #internationalwomensday with any of her books: #fantasy and #historicalfiction. Picked up my copy of Arca on pub day yesterday at a fave #indiebookstore, Page & Palette in Fairhope, AL.
Second in the Five Queendoms series after Scorpica. Can't wait!

It follows the main characters of her first book in the series, Scorpica, which was one of my 2022 favorites. These women are grappling with the changes happening in the queendoms. As rulers and women of power, they must hold their realms together despite uncertainties. And they each have their own style of completing these tasks. Just as excellent as the first book!

Can't think of a better way to celebrate #inwiththenew than by diving into this #arc of Arca, by my fave #fantasy author. The second in the Five Queendoms series following Scorpica, Arca finds the Drought of Girls over, but a boy in line to be King. Say it isn't so! Battles, intrigue, mysyery, and magic twist the plot at every turn. #JanuaryJazz @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Great chair!! Is it a rocker? 2y
lynneamch @Eggs It is a rocker, part of a 3-piece set my in-laws bought second-hand in the 1950s. We had the noses restored as my hubs & siblings used to turn the chairs upside down to make forts. 2y
