Her ten brothers laugh at her. The rule-bound world of the Gumiren nomads has no place for a girl hunter, much less a crippled one. But Khaidu has a secret.

To find her lost eagle, Khaidu will brave monstrous beasts, face an army of shape-shifting giants, and cross the known world...only to be faced with a terrible truth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e If Khaidu cannot save the queen in time, the world itself may die with her.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Heart of the World is the third book in an epic fantasy series.
