The third instalment of Turner's rip-roaring fantasy series finds Eugenides ensconced on the throne and ensnaring a young guard in a sinister game of intrigue.
Through scheming and outright theft, the Thief of Eddis has become the King of Attolia. Eugenides wanted the queen, not the crown, but he finds himself trapped in a web of his own making.
