Publisher's Synopsis
Precious little time remains to stop the king of the Laziuls, Herikech Illeon, who has now learned to harness three of the four ancient elements. The only remaining, just beyond his grasp, is the secret to the destructive power of fire. Baron Oreus Blake and the Yawranans know all too well that if Herikech should learn this secret, nothing may be able to keep him from destroying every kingdom on the face of Elvana. Their elemental weapons, bound to the fire, is their only defense as they take on this challenge. With the help of the Methalisians, the Yawranans will embark on a three-pronged journey to find the remaining snowtears in the world and destroy them. If no snowtears remain, they hope Herikech will finally perish and pass into The Underworld. Oreus will lead the first of the three sailing expeditions by guiding his crew to the shores of his homeland of Zonack. Herikech, they fear, will most likely start his quest there to find the remaining snowtears. Oreus must put aside his feelings for his father's death and his wish for revenge on Sir Malcom Hayward, the Queen's champion. The second part of the attack, led by Baron Viktoran Ilos and Blacksmith Boris Groffen, will venture to the wild islands of Phyre Heights, where barbarian clans rule and detest outsiders. Worst of all, however, Martell Fedrow, Yawranan Court Advisor and key to the Nax Synod Scriptures, will join Elder Kreg Garan and the Methalisian High Priestesses on the third mission to The Underworld itself. How the flowers could exist in such an extreme and hostile environment is unknown, but all will be lost if they do not locate the flowers and prevent Herikech from achieving an unthinkable god-like status.
