This sequel to The Winter Prince is a gripping tale of danger, nobility, power, and love. The exotic culture and well-developed code of honor of the Aksumite court give this post-Arthurian/ancient-Ethiopian fusion its striking flavor. With her thorough command of historic characters, a grand scope, and a swift-paced, heroic plot, Wein has laid out an appealing and sumptuous literary banquet.
