The Beggar Queen

"The Beggar Queen" is the last book of the Westmark trilogy by Lloyd Alexander, published by E. P. Dutton in 1984.

Plot introduction

Mickle, once a common street urchin, is now the queen of Westmark. The kingdom is thriving-yet, at the same time, it is strangely restless. Ghosts of the past lurk everywhere. The evil minister Cabbarus, banished from Westmark, is plotting to seize the throne. Theo remembers a time when he was the famed Kestrel, fighting battles that threatened to kill his soul. Now he once again must join in the struggle. Who will at last command the fate of Westmark?
