The third book in the Queen's Thief series. Eugenides faces palace intrigue and assassins as he strives to prove himself both to the people of Attolia and to his new bride, their queen.

'Megan Whalen Turner is one of my all-time favorite writers . . . impossible to put down' Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Cruel Prince

Through scheming and outright theft, the Thief of Eddis has become the King of Attolia. Eugenides wanted the queen, not the crown, but he finds himself trapped in a web of his own making.

Despised by his court, and apparently his bride, Eugenides ensnares a naive young guard in the web of intrigue that surrounds him. Struggling to find his footing, the guard, Costis, knows he's a pawn. What he doesn't know is how the king means to play the game . . .
