YA
In this eagerly awaited fourth novel (The Thief, etc.) set in a semi-classical world, Turner focuses on Sophos, prince of Sounis, who has been kidnapped by rebel barons. Turner's knotting of plots and counterplots, battle tactics, diplomatic skullduggery, the tensions of state business and personal desire, as well as events from earlier books, is masterful.
