شاکترا (دنباله آلوشا)

Ali Warner is thirteen years old. She's already saved one world. Now she must try to save another. Ali recently discovered that she is not an ordinary teenager but actually Queen of the Fairies. Reclaiming some of her magical abilities, she has taken possession of a mystical talisman whose powers she has barely begun to understand. She has saved the Earth from an invasion by elves and other creatures from the elemental world that lies parallel to our own. Now Ali searches for her missing mother in the elemental world, accompanied by a troll, a leprechaun, and Ra, a mysterious African teen whom she met on the icy slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Ali feels a strange connection to the young man, but does not understand why. They grew up separated by half a world. Attacked by nightmarish creatures, a wounded Ali and her friends are rescued by Drash, a young dragon with an inferiority complex. From Drash, Ali learns that the elemental world is on the verge of destruction at the hands of a sinister being known only as the Shaktra. Meanwhile, on Earth, Ali's friends Steve and Cindy investigate the beautiful and bewitching Sheri Smith, who is somehow connected to the Shaktra. Too late, Steve and Cindy discover that she is not human at all . . . . In a secret ice cavern hidden on a massive island that floats through the elemental heavens, Ali discovers the true relationship between humanity and the elementals—and the hideous nature of the enemy she must face. Ali Warner's quest will not be complete until either she or the Shaktra is dead. KLIATT Ali Warner has recently discovered that she is the Queen of the Fairies and not just an ordinary teenager. Now she sets out into the Elemental worlds to find her imprisoned mother. She and her unusual entourage—a troll, a leprechaun, and a boy from Africa—soon learn that the home of the fairies is besieged by a destructive force known as the Shaktra. Drash, a larval-stage dragon, joins their forces. They must travel to the largest of the floating ice islands in the sky above fairyland. While there, Ali learns of the connection between the Elemental worlds and Earth and also the true identity of the Skaktra. Of course, the story quits there and sets you up for the sequel, called The Yanti, which refers to the unusual medallion Ali was given at the end of the first installment, which she has been trying to learn to wield throughout this volume. Great marketing on Pike's part—once you get through this installment, you will need to read the next to see what is going to happen! This offers a fast-paced storyline and unique and compelling characters, plus a real gotcha at the end. In Alosha and The Shaktra , thirteen-year-old Ali Warner discovered that she was not an ordinary teenager, but was actually Queen of the Fairies. Through seven painful trials, Ali reclaimed many of her magical powers and defeated an elemental army that was preparing to attack the Earth. In the elemental world, Ali learned the true nature of her greatest enemy -- the Shaktra -- and discovered why it covets the Yanti, a mystical talisman of immense power that Ali now possesses. Now, in The Yanti , Ali discovers that a mysterious Entity is masterminding the Shaktra's attack on Earth, an attack that will kill billions and leave both Earth and the elemental world shattered. Still reeling from the death of one of her closest friends, Ali finds herself accused of murder on Earth and besieged by enemies in the elemental world. The Shaktra has had years to develop her magical abilities and her evil plots, guided by the otherworldly Entity. Ali has only known about her fairy powers for a month. There are holes in her fairy memories and her powers are still incomplete, while the Shaktra commands vast armies of hideous monsters and rules over hosts of dragons. Ali's allies are one dragon, one leprechaun, a single troll, a handful of fairies and an African boy, Ra, who has sworn to serve Ali even beyond death. Plus the mysterious disembodied Nemi -- whose love sustains Ali through her darkest moments of despair. Only the Yanti can stop what is to come. Unfortunately, Ali has barely had a chance to study it. The first time she tries to use it as a weapon, it nearly kills her. Unless Ali Warner can solve the riddle of the Yanti - and the mystery behind the Shaktra's insane bitterness -- then the Earth and the elemental world will be doomed.
