The Beggar Queen

This book is the third and final installment in the Westmark Trilogy, concluding the story arc that began with Westmark and continued in The Kestrel. Readers will benefit from starting with the first book to fully appreciate the character development and plot resolution.

The Beggar Queen, like the rest of the Westmark Trilogy, explores themes of political intrigue, justice, and the nature of leadership, which are also central to Alexander's more famous Chronicles of Prydain series. While distinct in setting and characters, readers familiar with his earlier fantasy will recognize his signature blend of adventure and moral complexity.
