The Vacant Throne is the third volume of The Throne of Amenkor.

Amenkor has been standing for a thousand years, ruled by the Mistress of the Skewed Throne, Amenkor has survived invaders, madness, drought, famine, and disease.

Varis is the new Mistress of the throne, but the last invasion drained the throne. And the Chorl haven’t given up.

The City’s only hope is the twin throne hidden in Venitte, a sometime ally. But the Chorl have targeted Venitte and its throne. The Venitte council don’t believe the Chorl is coming or that several members of the council are aiding them. Can Varis and her guard save the remaining throne, and Venitte from the Chorl?

Lots of action, intrigue and real characters in a well-drawn world, well worth the read {all three] You’ll want it for your library. You will want to re-read them. - Pam Allan
