In Pliocene Europe, warring races of aliens and humans face a new threat from North America in the third novel of the Locus Award–winning sci-fi series. A group of misfits from the twenty-second century have travelled six million years back in time to the Pliocene Epoch. But instead of an uninhabited paradise, they discover a land overrun with two alien races—each possessing great psychic powers—locked in bitter war. After escaping the knightly Tanu, a group of humans forms an uneasy alliance with the dwarfish Firvulag. But even after they succeed in destroying the Tanu capital, the war is far from over. Aiken Drum, a human with awesome mental powers, has usurped the Tanu throne. Aiken faces opposition from skeptical Tanu factions, as well as the revitalized Firvulag, who now out-number the Tanu-human coalition that Aiken has patched together. But another menace emerges to threaten Aiken's rule: a group of fearsome rogues from the year 2083, who have been living quietly in North America for decades. Led by Marc Remillard, they now seek to take advantage of the chaos in King Aiken's Many-Colored Land in order to seize control of the time-portal. The Nonborn King features the same blend of adventure, rich pageantry, humor, and fantastic eroticism that characterized The Many-Colored Land and The Golden Torc.
Aan het eind De Gouden Halsring weet Felice Landry met haar buitengewoon krachtige psychische vermogens een gigantische overstroming te ontketenen, een vloed die de hoofdstad van de Tanu vernietigt, waarmee een eind komt aan hun overheersing.
In De Troonveroveraar weet de jonge ambitieuze avonturier Aiken Drum, ondanks felle tegenstand, zich de troon van de Tanu toe te eigenen.
Zijn rijk wordt echter bedreigd door de komst van een groep mensen uit Noord-Amerika, die van de chaos in koning Aikens Veelkleurig Land gebruik maken door de tijdpoort in bezit te nemen... ( )

Whatever we may do, excess will always keep its place in the heart of man, in the place where solitude is found. We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and others. Rebellion, the secular will not to surrender . . . is still today at the basis of the struggle. Origin of form, source of real life, it keeps us always erect in the savage, formless movement of history.
—The Rebel, Albert Camus
