SummaryAll her life Riordan has rebelled against the idea she is
the chosen one mentioned in Kanarek's ancient prophecy. As
thirteenth heir to the throne she doesn't believe herself
to be the savior foreseen long ago. But when Prince Rau of
neighboring Hael conquers Kanarek with his army of the
dead, she is forced to believe. The slivers of amber used
to reanimate the dead are mentioned in the same prophecy.
As one of the last remaining Kanarekii and the last of the
royal line it falls to Riordan to save her family, her
people and Kanarek.
Still harboring doubts about the ancient text, she sets off
with her guardian, Nhaille to find the mythical Sword of
Zal-Azaar, her only hope of stopping Rau's megalomaniac
expansion through the coastal cities. The situation turns
from bad to worse, when she is kidnapped by the very demon
she is seeking to vanquish: Prince Rau, who has decided he
wants both the Sword and the Princess.
A paperback version is scheduled for January 2003.
