The King of Attolia
Book 3 of the The Queen's Thief series
387 pages · First published 2006
Eugenides has achieved the impossible and become King of Attolia, but the Attolian court sees him as a foreign thief who married their queen rather than a ruler worthy of obedience. Young guard Costis openly despises him and is drawn into the king’s orbit after an impulsive act threatens his career. Watching Eugenides at close range convinces Costis that the apparently weak and ridiculous king may be manipulating the court far more carefully than anyone realizes. The third Queen’s Thief novel turns palace politics into a character puzzle about power, perception, and a man who must learn to rule people determined not to see him clearly.
