Begins a new David Eddings trilogy, set a few years after the events of The Elenium... At the conclusion of The Elenium the company of Pandion Knights led by Sir Sparhawk, having freed Queen Ehlana of Elenia from the spell that threatened her life, had marched on Zemoch, routed their enemies and defeated or destroyed the evil god Azash. Sparhawk returned to Elenia, where he and Ehlana were married. But their peaceful reign is destined not to last long. A few years later, in the Tamul Empire far to the east, unrest is brewing which threatens the nation's stability. Investigations show that the trouble is clearly of paranormal origin, and suspicion at first falls upon the Styrics. These suspicions prove unfounded, and indeed it is the pre-eminent Styric magician Zalasta who suggests that the Empire look westwards for assistance in solving their problems... specifically, to the legendary warrior Sparhawk.

As he seeks to recover Bhelliom, the lost jewel of power, Sparhawk meets the Shining Ones, beings whose touch brings death. By the author of The Seeress of Kell. 250,000 first printing. $150,000 ad/promo.

Jakie jest tajemnicze zło, które zabija młodą królową Ehlanę? Ofiara tej samej nieznanej choroby, która zabiła jej ojca, króla Aldreasa, jest utrzymywana przy życiu dzięki potężnemu zaklęciu rzuconemu przez Sephrenię, wiecznie młodą strażniczkę magii. Ehlana siedzi na tronie, zamknięta w nieprzeniknionej kryształowej więzieniu, skazana na pewną śmierć, jeśli w ciągu roku nie zostanie znaleziony lek na jej śmiertelną chorobę. Los całego ludu elene jest związany z losem Ehlany: diaboliczny Annias, prymas kościoła Elenii, powierzył regencję marionetkowemu władcy, przez którego faktycznie rządzi królestwem. Sparhawk, członek zakonu rycerzy pandion i były champion królowej, wraca do ojczyzny po dziesięciu długich latach wygnania wśród wrogich ludzi. Po poinformowaniu o sytuacji, bez wahania staje na czele wiernych Ehlany i, wspierany przez Sephrenię oraz Flute, dziwną dziewczynkę o niepokojących zdolnościach, odkrywa, że za intrygami pałacowymi kryje się znacznie mroczniejsze i straszniejsze zagrożenie.

David Eddings returns to The Elenium, the splendid fantasy series that began with the thrilling novels Diamond Throne and Ruby Knight. Finally the knight Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure. But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch God Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say—only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear. Restoring Queen Ehlana would be only the beginning of Sparhawk’s mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana’s prisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread God the one thing Azash thirsted for—Bhelliom itself!

Sparhawk, rycerz zakonu Pandionu, wyrusza w poszukiwaniu Bhelliomu legendarnego magicznego klejnotu posiadającego niezwykłą moc, który ma uzdrowić królową Ehlanę. W tej niezwykłej podróży towarzyszą mu wojownicy, czarodziejka Sephrenia i tajemni...
