description: As one legend ends, another begins...Flame-haired Princess Torina lives a charmed life in Archeld until the day her father, the king, seizes the peaceful kingdom of Bellandra and captures its legendary sword, rumoured to defeat any enemy. On his return, he gives Torina two gifts: a beautiful crystal that reveals hidden powers, and the defeated king's son as a slave. Both prove to be more precious than she could ever imagine...But all is not well in Archeld. Beneath the seemingly orderly surface lurk greed, revenge, and life-threatening plots. Can Torina use her newfound powers to save her kingdom? Or must the seer take up the sword?
