The Gimlet Eye: Quentaris: Quest of the Lost City, Book 3

Things are different in the sky-city of Quentaris. Since the assassination of the old Archon, the city has fallen into the hands of a lazy, power-hungry ruler who cares nothing for his people – only the acquisition of new and better sources of authority and wealth. Tab used to be an apprentice magician, back in the good old days. Now she mucks out stalls and tries to duck her boss's bad temper. But she hasn't forgotten her training, and practises on her own late at night. Little does she know that her talents – unrecognised in the new regime – will take her and her friends on an adventure they won't soon forget. Much has changed in the sky-city of Quentaris. With the Archon dead, dark forces have come into play. New faces are appearing, familiar ones vanishing, and the horrid Florian has claimed the throne. Then, as Quentaris slips quietly through a vortex into the watery world of the Yarka, Tab Vidler and her friends suddenly realize they are the city's only hope. Plots, intrigue, magic, mystery, high adventure and more - everything that you've come to expect from the Quentaris series! Much has changed in the sky-city of Quentaris.
