A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Legend states that there exists a mighty sword that makes its possessor invincible to his enemies. But there is a curse on anyone who lifts the sword for conquest. King Kareed of Archeld goes after this sword anyway, winning it from the King of Bellandra. When he returns home from battle, he brings his daughter, Princess Torina, two special gifts. One is a unique crystal, in which she can view visions of the future. The other gift is the defeated king’s son Landen, who is to be her slave. Torina immediately releases Landen, who becomes a member of the King’s army and her close friend.
But trouble is lurking in the kingdom of Archeld and people are accusing Landen of plotting against the King. Torina refuses to believe he would hurt her family. Then Torina begins seeing deadly visions in her crystal. Can she save her father’s life and the future of her kingdom?

Quatrième de couverture :

As one legend ends, another begins...

Flame-haired Princess Torina lives a charmed life in Archeld until the day her father, the king, seizes the peaceful kingdom of Bellandra and captures its legendary sword, rumoured to defeat any enemy. On his return, he gives Torina two gifts: a beautiful crystal that reveals hidden powers, and the defeated king's son as a slave. Both prove to be more precious than she could ever imagine...

But all is not well in Archeld. Beneath the seemingly orderly surface lurk greed, revenge, and life-threatening plots. Can Torina use her newfound powers to save her kingdom? Or must the seer take up the sword?
