Overview
Shortly after a defeated enemy arrives in Allon with the offer of a royal marriage, strange things begin to happen. What is the connection of four mysterious stones to a jade statue? Are these linked to Prince Nigel’s haunting nightmares? The Guardians must learn if this is a marriage for peace or an act of revenge.Synopsis
"After a resounding defeat at the hand of King Ellis" forces, Emperor Kamu of Morven sends an ambassador to Allon offering a royal marriage between one of his daughters, Princess Kaleana, and sixteen-year-old prince Nigel. Kaleana gives Nigel a jade statue as a gift of goodwill. Avatar, Nigel's Guardian Overseer, reacts with hostility to the foreign statue and urges him to get rid of it. But his warning has little effect on the smitten prince. Soon, strange things start happening: unknown creatures appear, mysterious stones are discovered, and every event threatens the lives of the royal family. Avatar is convinced the jade statue is the source of the trouble. For Nigel, each incident intensifies a secret disturbance -- nightmares that haunt him about his future. Where does the connection lie -- in Nigel's nightmares or is everything the result of revenge disguised as a dowry?--Back coverBook Details
