With the demon dactyl and its foul minions defeated, the war-weary citizens of the
kingdom of Honce-the-Bear wish only to begin rebuilding their broken lives. Yet the
specter of civil war haunts the ravaged land – and a specter more fearsome still. For
the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found
an unholy sanctuary. The elf-trained ranger Elbryan presses north to reclaim the
savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes. His companion, Pony, mistress of
gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized – but no less perilous – streets of
Palmaris. Suddenly they find themselves caught up in a ruthless struggle to decide
the fate of all Corona – a struggle that will push their courage and love to the
breaking point... and beyond.
