About this title

Synopsis

Book two of the classic Elenium trilogy by arguably the greatest living fantasy writer. The quest for the jewel of life continues. Ehlana, the young Queen of Elenia clings to life by a thread, preserved within a crystalline tomb conjured by the sorceress Sephrenia. But there's a price to pay - twelve Pandion Knights must sacrifice their lives to keep her alive for just one year. Only one thing is powerful enough to save Ehlana: the Bhelliom, an exquisite and magical jewel that has been lost for centuries. Sparhawk, the Queen's Champion and his band of allies must set off on a perilous quest to locate the precious stone. But the evil God Azash has plans for it himself! The second of the Sparhawk books is epic fantasy at its best.
