Where Flap the Tatters of the King: The Order of the Four Sons, Book III

The quest for the Staff of Solomon continues…

The Order of the Four Sons, Book III sees members of the Order – Kate, JD, Murphy, Bill, Clayton and Alyssa – reunited in a world known as Corbenic. It’s definitely not a warm reunion. With the Corbenese king held hostage by Starry Wisdom, the land has been plunged into endless winter, and certain members of the team are less than thrilled that they have been joined by former MJ-12 Agent Emily Hayes.

The team finds themselves once again braving the elements. Disguised as locals, they must make their way across the frozen countryside, moving from safe house to safe house as part of the underground resistance movement. Along the way, they quickly discover that Corbenic is as dangerous as it is seductive, a world of magic and wealth, of alchemists and geomancers, nobles and courtesans.

Things don’t get any easier once they reach Corbenic’s capital city. They find themselves immediately embroiled in court politics. Starry Wisdom’s spies are everywhere, and to top it all off, there’s a murderer loose in the city.

Meanwhile, Countess Elizabeth Bathory still has possession of the staff segment. And she’s about to barter it away.
