The River of Crowns
For eight centuries, the Serpent Coil has been the lifeblood of a continent - the inland river whose gold-and-salt caravans and forest wealth built three successive Empires of the Bend. The Golden Coil opens in the final golden decades of the Third Empire, under the long and confident reign of Mansa-Keita Siraan the Radiant. Behind the splendor, four of his forty-one children - ambitious Bakari, watchful Amina, patient Idrissa, and quiet Oumar - are already learning the provinces, the fleets, the mediums, the scholars, and the river itself, as thinning floods and a retreating lake reveal the drowned bones of a forgotten civilization, and a reforming power gathers, unnoticed, beyond the northern desert. The book ends in blood, as Siraan's death fractures his court before the funeral rites conclude.
