In time one shall be hailed a king, another as Betrayer. Their third shall do an evil thing when freedom is denied her. Now Four and Five shall not survive; misfortune Six to gain by Seven's will at least until reunion on the Plain. Though seven heroes journey forth; prepare their final stand, not all; I fear, shall chance to peer upon their journey's end. Three children will seal the fate of nations: Lorelei the rebel vixen princess of Eludoran; measured against the yardstick of her heroic brother. Malachi her sidekick and cousin; resigned to mull over a love he can never have. And exotic Pendarynn; son of a jealous sorceress driven mad by revenge. Their paths cross in Eludoran, where they find solace with each other. Little do their feuding parents suspect what's been going under their noses; a friendship the like of which has never been heard of before: One which might shatter old grudges and usher in a new age of tolerance and reason... --or bring everything crashing down around them.
