Orsina believes that she has successfully banished Aelia, but in fact Aelia survives, though seriously injured and with a new face and body. Questing after her destiny, she encounters and defeats Aelia, a minor Chaos God, whose province is caprice and distraction – she is not malicious, but her followers suffer nonetheless because they forget to bring in the harvest or to feed their flocks, and thus risk starvation. She is kind, honorable, serious, and dutiful, and she is on a mission to defeat a Great (and unknown) Evil. Orsina is a Paladin of the God Iolar, whose mission is to fight evil and in particular to banish Chaos Gods, who enthrall their worshippers and lead them into destructive pathways. It is a simple, sweet story about the power of kindness to inspire love and change. Daughter of the Sun is the second book in the Tales of Inthya series, but it stands alone, and does not overlap at all with The Queen of Ieflaria.
