There were no kidnappings at Ronan's second birthday party. However, Retta did find out a piece of news during the party. It turns out that Tom Railan figured out the Ronan secret a long time ago. While she's reeling from that, the Goddess herself stops by to tell Retta there's trouble ahead. Good times too, but definitely trouble. Dang it - can't she get a break?
But life goes on. Maybe it's time to start baby number two, which is way more fun to focus on than the questions raised by Tom's revelation. And three weddings are coming up, which are also fun.
Thankfully, Anders and Retta are on good terms, and they'll face any trouble together. And her friends always help her when things get bad. So, if she does get pregnant, there's no reason to fear her confinement period, right? Except there's that divine warning still hovering out there...
The final book in the Chess Series brings even more trouble for Retta, Anders, and the rest of the Gang. The series must be read in order.
