A deadly plague rages through Aksum, and only one boy can uncover the
traitor who spreads the disease and threatens to destroy the kingdom
Telemakos, a descendant of both British and Aksumite rulers, has
always been an outcast, but his resolve, loyalty, and bravery have
never failed his royal heritage. When a plague spreads through the
kingdom of Aksum, his aunt Goewin, British ambassador to Aksum, calls
upon Telemakos to travel to the Afar desert and discover who has been
a traitor to the crown, spreading the plague through the shipment of
salt from port to port. Traveling in disguise as a deaf-mute slave,
Telemakos is captured and subjected to cruelty and suffering. Now more
than ever, he must call on his extraordinary courage and his gift for
silence—for if he fails, it will cost him his life. This ebook
features an illustrated biography of Elizabeth Wein including rare
images from the author’s personal collection.
