A Foreign Heart — Jeffrey Quyle

The fourth volume of the Inner Seas Kingdom Series, A Foreign Heart follows Kestrel through a fast-paced series of adventures. With his goal now defined as defeat of the Viathin race that has invaded and begun to conquer the world of the Inner Seas, Kestrel works closely with his imp allies to race around the lands he knows -- the Eastern Forest, Hydrotaz, and Graylee.

But the threats and challenges the Viathin evil poses are not limited to the places he is familiar with. Kestrel will journey through the Water Mountains and try to reach the nations north of the mountains. He will find that the challenges in the north will not just be combat, but the culture as well. And his heart will be torn by the affections that he comes to realize, and the desire he is driven to pursue.

There are new powers, new weapons, new characters, and new challenges that drive Kestrel across wide portions of the Inner Seas Kingdoms as he tries to defeat the Viathins and conquer the yearnings of his own heart.
