'A Fayrie warrior, a white tiger that talks, a bastard Prince , a seven-hundred year old Druid and the last Princess of Ellenroh, embark on an adventure to find the pieces of a magical cross that can save their world from a powerful Sorcerer planning destruction of everything they hold dear. A Princess of the Wolfhead is kidnapped by the High Priest of the Urakians and used in a dark ritual to raise SERNON of Asomos, a sadistic necromancer bent on enslaving the people of Tarlis. There is an Urakian uprising and enemy warriors swarm the land.
One woman is named in an ancient Elisian prophecy. She is Tannith, Princess of Ellenroh, descendant of Dragonbane, King of the old code. Only by her hand can the pieces of the legendary Cross of Tarlis be assembled, and with its use in raising their God, Magus, can freedom be restored to their realm.
But Sernon also desires the famed talisman. He believes that with the right ritual he can use the Cross to open portals to other worlds that will lead him to treasure and unbelievable power.
In a perilous land, facing an uncertain future, Tannith pins her hopes on two men: Kaden of the Wolfhead, second son of a cursed king, haunted by his failure to save his family, and stop his older brother from being transformed to an Ice Tiger; and Etanandril Jarrisendel, Captain of the Elisian Elite, her childhood friend, and the man who loves her.
One will become a King. The other will face his fears and become a hero. Both will become legends.' - from goodreads.com (sighted 18/01/2010)
