description: 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.
