The Queen of Stone

von Keith Baker

The smarts and action of the spy thrillers meet the magic and worldbuilding of fantasy in this thrilling Eberron series Nyrielle Tam-better known by her code name, Thorn-is a Dark Lantern sent undercover to a summit in the monstrous kingdom of Droaam. The kingdom is washed with unrest, as the beasts of Droaam have organized and demand recognition from the kingdoms of Khorvaire. As a secret envoy of Breland, one of the five nations of Khorvaire, Thorn's mission in Droaam is to gauge her neighbors' reaction to the new state's demands of equality-and to take the opportunity to recover something long ago stolen by the mysterious Sheshka, Queen of the Medusas. Caught in the middle of the conflict and tasked with a perilous side-quest, it's up to Thorn to accomplish her mission while keeping her king and country out of war.
