I have just learned, through the publisher's webpage, that the German translation of The Vacant Throne will be . . .

Die Kampferin

I have no idea what that means, and the "a" is supposed to have an umlaut over it, but I don't know how to do that. So apparently the Throne of Amenkor trilogy, in German, will be:

Die Assassine
Die Regentin and
Die Kampferin

Interesting. Now cover posted for the third book yet, but I'll post it as soon as I can. The second book, Die Regentin, is scheduled for release in January, and it looks like the third, Die Kampferin, is set for the end of June. The first two links are to the Amazon.de pages, and the third is for the publisher's page.

Kaempferin is literally "fighter" (female), though "warrior" would be a more elegant translation, imo.

That's . . . interesting. I wondered what they were going to call the third book, since they basically said she was the queen in book 2. I wonder what the theory behind "fighter" or "warrior" was?

Die Kriegerin would have been a more elegant German choice.
