Elizabeth E. Wein Books Overview

The Winter Prince

Medraut is the eldest son of Artos, high king of Britain and, but for an accident of birth, would be heir to the throne. Instead, his younger half brother, Lleu, fragile and inexperienced, is chosen. Medraut cannot bear to be commanded and contradicted by this weakling brother who he feels has usurped both his birthright and his father’s favor. Torn and bitter, he joins Morgause, the high king’s treacherous sister, in a plot to force Artos to forfeit his power and kingdom in exchange for Lleu’s life. But this plot soon proves to be much more a battlefield on which Medraut is forced to decide, for good or evil, where his own allegiance truly lies.

A Coalition of Lions

‘Elizabeth Wein’s storytelling is rich and strange and wonderful.’ Robin McKinley After the death of virtually all of her family in the battle of Camlan, Goewin Princess of Britain, daughter of the High King Artos and his wife Ginevra makes a desperate journey to African Aksum, to meet with Constantine, the British ambassador and her husband to be. But Aksum has its own political turmoil, and Goewin s relationship with Priamos, Aksum s ambassador to Britain, makes her position more than precarious. Caught between two countries, with the power to transform or end lives, Goewin fights to find and claim her place in a world that has suddenly, irrevocably changed. With taut, evocative writing, Elizabeth Wein transports the reader to sixth century Africa, vividly capturing its sights, sounds, and smells, and with them the lives of the Aksumite and British people. A Coalition of Lions follows Wein s acclaimed The Winter Prince in an ongoing Arthurian cycle and is firmly in the tradition of Rosemary Sutcliff and Robin McKinley in its excitement, attention to detail, and a hero*ine to remember.

The Sunbird

Telemakos is the grandson of two noble men: Kidane, member of the parliament in the African kingdom of Aksum, and Artos, the fallen High King of Britain. Telemakos is also an exceptional listener and tracker, resolute and inventive in his ability to discover and retain information. Now his aunt Goewin, the British ambassador to Aksum, needs his skill. Plague has come to Britain, and threatens Aksum. Disguised, Telemakos must travel to the city of Afar where salt the currency of sixth century Africa is mined, and discover the traitor who has ignored the emperor’s command, spreading plague with the salt from port to port. This challenge will take all of Telemakos s skill, strength, and courage because otherwise it will cost him his life.

The Sunbird is the third in Elizabeth E. Wein s ongoing Arthurian/ Aksumite cycle. Its striking, spare language, riveting plot, and all too human characters are unforgettable.

‘The exotic culture and well developed code of honor of the Aksumite court give this post Arthurian/ancient Ethiopian fusion its striking flavor…
. With her thorough command of historic characters, a grand scope, and a swift paced, heroic plot, Wein has laid out an appealing and sumptuous literary banquet.’ The Horn Book

The Lion Hunter

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.

The Empty Kingdom

In The Lion Hunter, Telemakos?the half British, half Aksumite grandson of King Arthur?was sent for his safety to stay with one of Aksum?s former enemies. When Abreha, ruler of Himyar, allegedly the boy?s protector, catches him in the midst of what appears to be treachery, he sentences him to a fate seemingly worse than death. Not only is Telemakos forbidden to see his beloved younger sister, Athena, but he is also commanded to reproduce the maps that Abreha plans to use in order to invade Aksumite territory. Countries away from his family, lacking any way to tell them what has happened, Telemakos must bring all of his subtle talents to bear in order to regain his freedom. The Empty Kingdom is a stunning conclusion to the Mark of Solomon duology?a triumph of historic suspense.
