Legends warned that Ghrymatti's third moon never brought good fortune, so with Veena about to reveal her mystic face for the first time in twenty cycles, many of the land's people were on edge. But no one could have suspected the invasion of Vindessa. Able to control the forces of nature with the power of her Crystal Elements, Vindessa subjugates the people of Ghrymatti with the help of her sorcerer son G'Briel and her 'Black Cats' army. In her lust for the throne, however, Vindessa made many promises, some of which she did not keep. . . "The Crystal Elements" follows the desperate adventures of deposed Queen Yehelyah and her family, with the unlikely help of the mysterious Dragon Rider Nea'ss. Will they succeed in their battle to overcome Vindessa's cast powers and restore the rightful queen to the throne?
