Mark of Solomon

YA
Mark of Solomon series.
This sequel to The Lion Hunter plunges readers back into the intricately conceived world of post-Arthurian Africa. Imprisoned, Telemakos sends coded messages to his family while Abreha (who is a masterfully written foil) attempts to win his loyalty. Throughout, Wein deftly balances the political and the personal, moving toward a pitch-perfect resolution to Telemakos's unique, epic journey into adulthood.

Mark of Solomon series.
A lion attack costs Telemakos his arm. During his convalescence, he becomes devoted to his newborn sister Athena. Still haunted by his torture (The Sunbird), Telemakos is placed in mortal jeopardy. The vividly evoked setting provides a lush backdrop. That the book ends with Telemakos at the height of peril will only whet readers' appetites for the story's conclusion.
