Publisher's Synopsis
King Darwent knew that allowing his youngest daughter to journey to Dasteria with Balovan the travelling trader would have its risks but when Balovan failed to return to Elliana, he could only fear the worst. Xantor was ready, he had come of age, he was the only one the king could rely on to go all the way to Dasteria if necessary to find Ameliana and bring her home. But a dark force had entered Eternia and Xantor would face the greatest trial imaginable. Life for all Eternians was going to change forever and things would never be the same again.
