This “unique, epic journey into adulthood” takes readers from
Arthurian England to sixth-century Africa (The Horn Book). The
acclaimed author of Code Name Verity spins a mesmerizing fantasy of
sibling rivalry, royal intrigue, and hair-raising adventure in the
medieval world. “Wein’s prose is taut and elegant, creating an
intense, intimate, and sometimes painful story with finely wrought,
believable characters” (Booklist). The Winter Prince: Medraut is
the eldest son of High King Artos, and would-be heir to the British
throne—if not for an unfortunate circumstance of birth. Consumed by
jealousy, Medraut joins with the king’s treacherous sister in a plot
to take over the throne. But Medraut soon finds his battle is not just
with the kingdom, but also with the demons inside himself. “A
mesmerizing, splendidly imagined debut.” —Kirkus Reviews A
Coalition of Lions: With her kingdom in upheaval and her vicious aunt
out for blood, Goewin, daughter of High King Artos, flees to the
British-allied African kingdom of Aksum, now known as Ethiopia. But
Aksum is undergoing its own political turmoil, and Goewin soon finds
herself trapped between two countries, with the well-being of each at
stake. “A gripping tale of danger, nobility, power, and love.”
—The Horn Book The Sunbird: Telemakos, a descendant of both
British and Aksumite rulers, has always been an outcast, but his
honorable character has never failed his royal heritage. When a plague
spreads through the kingdom of Aksum, he is called upon to travel to
the Afar desert and discover who has betrayed the crown.
“Intense, absorbing, and luminously written.” —Kirkus Reviews,
starred review The Lion Hunter: When tragedy strikes close to home,
Telemakos and his infant sister, Athena, are sent to live with Abreha,
the ruler of Himyar—a longtime-enemy-turned-ally of the Aksumites.
But even in hiding, there is more danger than anyone could have
imagined. “[A] lyrical and complex tale of adventure and betrayal
set in sixth-century Africa.” —School Library Journal, starred
review The Empty Kingdom: Accused of treason and imprisoned on the
upper levels of a palace, Telemakos is forced to help plan an invasion
of his beloved homeland. Lacking any way to communicate with his
family in faraway Aksum, he must use all of his subtle talents to
regain his freedom. “Filled with friendships and secrets, trust
and treachery, this is a worthy entry in Wein’s sophisticated look
at ancient Ethiopia.” —School Library Journal
