title: Sword of the Deceiver (Isavalta, Book 4)
author:  Sarah Zettel 
description: Zettel's satisfying conclusion to her Isavalta series (after 2004's <i>The Firebird's Vengeance</i>) illuminates the inner workings of the royal court of the Hastinapura Empire through the eyes of 19-year-old Princess Natharie of Sindhu, taken there as tribute from her father, King Kiet of the neighboring realm of Sindhu. Though women in Hastinapura are sequestered, they plot and peddle influence as deftly as the politicians, generals and priests who clamor for Emperor Chandra's attention. Chandra's honorable brother, Prince Samudra, does his best to influence his stern brother, but a year away carrying out diplomatic duties has weakened his own alliances at court. As Isavalta's nations chafe under Hastinapura's rule, Samudra and Natharie are caught up in a web of intrigue that could enmesh the land in all-out war. The fast-paced, complex story works well as a stand-alone and is sure to appeal to fans of both epic fantasy and romance. <i>(Mar.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
