Detailed Summary

The Heart of the Tengeri is a tale about young Queen Amanizar who has
inherited a crumbling empire ringed with encroaching enemies led by
Prince Vadizar, her deposed older brother. She finds herself betrayed
by court wizard Salagon, who enjoyed being her regent had hoped to be
the power behind the throne but shifts his loyalties to Vadizar when
he finds out he cannot control her. Her only hope of saving her people
from her enemies is to find the long-lost Heart of the Tengeri, a
fabled talisman that contains the strength and power of the empire.

With no magical gifts of her own, Queen Amanizar must rely upon her
wits and courage to defeat her brother and restore peace to her
people. She isn't alone, though. Tenzen, the handsome Jakaeli prince
is a former ally of her brother who has resolved to help the young
queen with whom he is falling in love. Bocadan, strong and canny,
pledged his sword and life to her father and now to her. She is joined
by Danzia, the elderly Dakhanni woman who has almost magical skill
with a sword.

Eventually Amanizar finds the Heart but loses her kingdom and her
freedom. In the end she must defend herself against her brother as he
attempts to kill her with his own hands.

Excerpt/Quote From Book

"We need an army!” Bokadan said. “We are but five!”

“I won’t raise and army,” said Amanizar. She clasped her hands together to stop them from shaking. “We’ll combat my brother’s lies with truth. If that’s not good enough then the gods don’t want me to be queen.”

“There are only five of us, Bokadan, but you and Gelir are the queen’s best commanders,” said Tenzen. “Danzia is a warrior out of legend. I took the Dhimmar with only two hundred men.” He stepped toward Amanizar and took one of her hands. “You are Kantazar reborn and you bear the Heart of the Tengeri. If your brother had the brains of an ass he’d be terrified.” Tenzen didn’t smile at her, as she expected he would, so she smiled at him instead. . . .
