Product Description
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 few: 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.

3 out of 5 stars Not ad good as the first two   September 14, 2008
PureLake (NY)
This gets bogged down with a lot of crap in the middle. It's nowhere near the fun, speedy read Alosha was or as riviting as Shaktra.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing   July 10, 2008

What a book. I haven't read any of Christopher Pike's books before but this serious just blew me away. I started reading the first book on Friday and finished the last one on Saturday and now going back to make sure I didn't miss anything. I think people of all ages can relate to the charaters in the book. Warning once you pick these books up you won't be able to put them down.


5 out of 5 stars Great series   June 16, 2008

This is a great series for anyone who loves fantasy without mature themes. And of the series, this is the best of the books.. so far. The plot keeps getting more complex and has a cliffhanger ending that will leave you yearning for the next installment!


3 out of 5 stars um, so a trilogy?   January 14, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

so this series is great, but i wonder if mr. pike knows what a trilogy is. see, as i was finishing the third book i thought i was done - but not so much. apparently there is more to come. that's cool and all, but a trilogy is three parts. next time just call it a series if you can't finish the story. i am a bit disappointed because of this.

Christopher Pike does it again with another great book. Amazon didn't do a bad job of shipping it superfast either :)
