The Knight in the Panther Skin, Book Three: A Rule of Three The throne of India is broken, and the Seven Kingdoms war for dominance. In Arabia, Tinatin sits alone while Rostevan courts tragedy. On the other side of the world, Kadjeti castle lies empty. The King has disappeared, and the witch Queen seeks a bride for her son.

It’s only a matter of time before the hope she clings to breaks against the harsh reality of her surroundings. Then, like a star fallen from Heaven, she will be consumed by the dark powers of her captors. Those who might stand a chance at saving her are scattered to the winds by the hand of Fate.
