Publisher's Synopsis
Three naïve young Welshmen travel with an unscrupulous French trader on a perilous two-thousand-mile journey to Constantinople for a magic Bloodstone to bring back the rain and save their drought-stricken village. But, all four bring more than provisions on this epic quest ¬¬¬¬- two are cursed, one has a secret dream, and one harbors a murderous desire. In Book One, the travelers brave deadly seas, traverse dark forests, and scale icy mountains with pain, suffering, and death their constant companions.
