It is the sixth century in Aksum, Africa. Young Telemakos—
King Arthur’s half-Ethiopian grandson—is still recovering
from his ordeal as a government spy in the far desert,
trying to learn who was breaking the Emperor’s plague
quarantine. Before he is fully himself again, tragedy and
menace strike, and he finds himself sent, with his baby
sister, Athena, to live with Abreha, the ruler of Himyar—a
longtime enemy of the Aksumites, now perhaps a friend. His
aunt Goewin, Arthur’s daughter, warns him that Abreha is a
man to be wary of, someone to watch carefully. Telemakos
promises he will be mindful—but he does not realize that
Goewin’s warnings are not enough to protect him. The
Sunbird (“Intense, absorbing, and luminously written,”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review) was the first book
about Telemakos. The Lion Hunter continues his
story, to be quickly followed by The Empty Kingdom—a two-
book sequence called The Mark of Solomon.
