The Poet's Dilemma - The Farsian Trilogy, #3

The Kingdom of Farsia has fallen. The conqueror Eskandar is ascendant and more powerful than ever. He intends to unleash the immortal Drvaspa who will unravel the very fabric of the universe. The few who can stop Eskandar and Drvaspa are scattered and divided. Volakles, a capable soldier with a turncoat's reputation, has gone into hiding with the heir to the Farsian throne. He has sworn to protect her from Eskandar while she develops her rare powers.
Paniz survived her duel against Eskandar, but she lost her memories and identity. Now she wanders through the kingdom, protecting innocents from the monstrous hordes while she searches for clues about her former life. Zemfira had the chance to neutralize Drvaspa, but she chose to save her family instead. Now she has been stripped of her powers and only barely survived the ordeal. Regaining her powers might allow Drvaspa to unravel the universe faster, but if Zemfira cannot defeat her celestial foe, the end will be truly assured.
