Kamet has no choice but to flee the palace with a stranger.

Kamet is safe and happy in his work as a slave to Nahuseresh, brother to the heir of the Mede empire–until Eugenides sends to steal him from his master. In order to protect those he loves, Sophos has no choice but to accept the man he’s become-and the man Sounis needs. He wouldn’t mind being invisible and ignored if the baron’s insurrections and threats of Mede invasion didn’t follow him even to his new lifestyle. Book 4: A Conspiracy of KingsĪfter an attack on his family’s villa, Sophos, baron’s son and heir to the throne of Sounis begins a new life as a slave, invisible and ignored. Somehow Costis finds himself fighting beside the king to discover who is a friend and who is a foe in the king’s own court. An unfortunate encounter, however, soon lands Costis in the most unexpected and undesired position possible-personal guard to the king himself. In the midst of so many threats and intrigue, two characters find themselves facing a force they never reckoned with, more terrifying than any war: love.Ĭostis is just one of the many Attolians reluctant to accept their new king. Old and new characters tell their stories as Gen suffers an incapacitating loss, the queen of Eddis declares war, and the queen of Attolia stalls the enemy Medes. Rather than punish him for his audacious crime, however, the magus (king’s advisor) recruits Gen for a journey across unfriendly lands to a secret location where, if he is to reclaim his freedom, the thief must steal from the gods themselves.

Gen is in prison because he stole the king’s signet ring-a task only an expert thief could accomplish.
