The Lion Hunters: Mark of Solomon duology continues Elizabeth Wein’s historical fantasy saga with The Lion Hunter (2007) and The Empty Kingdom (2008). Set primarily in the kingdom of Aksum in sixth-century Ethiopia, the books follow characters from the earlier Arthurian trilogy into new adventures.
The two books deepen the world Wein built in her original trilogy, giving more attention to the African setting that distinguished her Arthurian fiction from other retellings. Together, the five Lion Hunter books form a single interconnected narrative spanning Britain and East Africa.
