About this title

Synopsis

Jemany Vexing was once a little crippled boy who lived with his evil Aunt Umbecca and dreamed of a life he could never have - until he met the wild girl Cata, gained the use of his legs and discovered himself to be Prince Jemany, the true Heir to the throne of Ejland. But his discoveries came with a high cost: Jem was sent off to find the five long-lost crystals of the Orokon before the anti-god Toth-Vexrah could get his hands on them. Only if the crystals are reunited will the world be safe from the depredations of the mad immortal. Through the first four books Jem and his closest companions, Cata and Raj, have overcome wild magic to find the crystals, but in the final apocalyptic volume, time is running out ...and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. In the magical world of the Orokon, nothing is ever quite as it seems and the apocalyptic climax will astound and enthrall Tom Arden's legion of admirers.
