Description

When the world was new, the dragon, Baras, taught the forbidden knowledge of magic to human sorcerers who named themselves Barasha, the servants of Baras. Together with demons, they made war on the Dragon Council for control of the world. The council drew together three women and three men to become the wizards who hunted down and destroyed the Barasha, then fashioned a magical crown to subdue Baras. With the end of the Dragon War, the wizards vanished.

After thousands of years, stories of the Dragon Council, wizards, Baras and the Barasha, have fallen into legend. Few in Carandir believe that the magical crown holds the evil one at bay. They are concerned with rumors of looming civil war between baronies.

Yet, remnants of the Barasha survived. They plot to steal the crown and release their master who will spread a reign of terror that would consume the world. At the same time, rival baronies stand on the verge of civil war.

Among those drawn into these webs are twin brothers Prince Ryckair and Prince Craya along with The Lady Mirjel, daughter of a powerful baron. At the boys' birth, the identity of the first born, the only one of the twins who can take the crown, was lost during a demon attack in which the king and queen wee killed. Mirjel is bound by decree to marry the brother who becomes king.

One guards the monarchy.

One protects and defends the people from the Barasha.

One is seduced by them.
