The Fifth Sorceress (Paperback, New Ed)


It is three centuries since the devastating war that all but destroyed the kingdom of Eutracia. Those who masterminded the bloodshed – four powerful, conquest-hungry sorceresses – were banished beyond the feared Sea of Whispers and since those dark days, Eutracia has flourished under the protection and guidance of its council of wizards. Now a land of peace and plenty, it is about to crown a new king and the spirit of celebration fills every heart. Except one.

Prince Tristan is a reluctant monarch-to-be. Though born with the endowed blood that will bestow upon him the power to master magic and destined to succeed his father as ruler of this land, his is a rebel soul.

But more than tradition compels Tristan to ascend the throne. The very survival of Eutracia depends upon it. For after these long years of peace, it seems an ancient and unspeakable evil, nurtured over centuries of darkness, has returned and is thirsting for blood, for domination and above all, for revenge. Tristan’s fate is to fulfil a role chosen for him by an ages-old prophecy – to face an adversary whose hatred knows no bounds and whose greatest weapon is the person he loves most…

Brimming with chilling intrigue and dread enchantments, bursting with excitement and wonder, The Fifth Sorceress marks the beginning of a magnificent fantasy adventure.
