Redemptor / Ifueko, Jordan

"An Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To appease the sinister spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future atrocities. Tarisai is determined to survive, but months into her shaky reign as empress she is haunted by child spirits, demanding that she pay for past sins of the empire. She fears the pressure may consume her--if the assassination attempts don't kill her. But Tarisai must either die for justice--or live for it"--OCLC.
