β¦ Synopsis
"Plenty of adventure and magic . . . continues Robert Newcomb's tradition of mixing adventure with an interesting and well-realized magical world." --SF Site
Prince Tristan and his twin sister, Shailiha, are the Chosen Ones, prophesied to unite the opposing magics of the dark Vagaries and the benevolent Vigors. But before they can fulfill their destiny, they must search out the mysterious Scrolls of the Ancients which hold the key to unlocking great mystical secrets. They are not the only ones on a dire quest.
Krassus, a devoted servant of the Vagaries, has located one of the Scrolls and through it has attained great and ominous powers. Now he needs but one thing: a man who unknowingly possesses magic in his blood almost as potent as that of the Chosen Ones. Tristan and Shailiha must find that man before Krassus's dark enchantments turn him into the most dangerous weapon of evil the world has ever known--if it's not already too late. . . .
