A Coalition of Lions
After the death of virtually all of her family in the battle of Camlan, Goewin, Princess of Britain, daughter of the High King Artos, makes a desperate journey to African Aksum, to meet with Constantine, the British ambassador and her fiance. But Aksum is undergoing political turmoil, and Goewin's relationship with its 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 . . .
Please note: The first three books in the Lion Hunters series make up a subseries known as the Arthurian or Aksumite Cycle.

The story of Medraut – strong, skilled, daring, and never to be king . . .
This unique interpretation of the Arthurian legend is told from Medraut's point of view, in a dark narrative addressed towards Medraut's mother and Arto's sister Morgause, a cruel and beautiful woman who connives to put her son on the throne.
Elizabeth Wein's richly told Lion Hunters series will appeal to devotees of the Arthurian legend, as well as those readers who enjoy historical sagas such as Jennifer Neil's Ascendance series and Rosemary Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth.
