Paladin's Legacy
Elizabeth Moon · 5 novels · 1 short story · 2010–2014
Picking up soon after The Deed of Paksenarrion, Paladin's Legacy follows Kieri Phelan, a mercenary captain revealed as the long-lost heir to the half-elven kingdom of Lyonya, as he takes an unwanted throne and confronts his own uncertain heritage. Elizabeth Moon runs his story alongside events in neighboring Tsaia, where Prince Mikeli survives an assassination attempt only to face a coup led by the sorcerous Verrakai family. Across five books, both kingdoms find themselves threatened by a conspiracy older and stranger than either ruler expects.
