Book description

New cover reissue of Book Two of the classic ELENIUM trilogy, by the greatest living fantasy writer. The quest for the jewel of life continues.

Ehlana, the young Queen of Elenia, clings to life by a thread, preserved within a crystalline tomb conjured by the sorceress Sephrenia. But there's a price to pay - twelve Pandion Knights must sacrifice their lives to keep her alive for just one year.

Only one thing is powerful enough to save Ehlana: the Bhelliom, an exquisite and magical jewel that has been lost for centuries. Sparhawk, the Queen's Champion, and his band of allies must set off on a perilous quest to locate the precious stone. But the evil God Azash has plans for it himself…

The second of the Sparhawk books is epic fantasy at its best. 'Nobody writes modern fantasy like Eddings or as well… Eddings is at the top with the very best'

'Sparhawk is the best-realized hero in modern fantasy'
Daily Telegraph David Eddings was born in Washington State in 1931 and grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the US Army. Subsequently, he worked as a buyer for the Boeing Aircraft Company and taught college-level English. His career as a fantasy writer, with his wife Leigh, has been spectacular.
