Publisher Description
Book One of the classic ELENIUM series.
After a long exile, Pandion Knight Sparhawk returns to his native land to find his young queen grievously ill.
Ehlana has been poisoned and will die unless a cure can be found within a year. The life force of twelve of her sworn knights is all that sustains her; but one knight will be lost within the passing of each month if the antidote isn’t found.
To save his queen, his comrades, and the stability of the kingdom, Sparhawk begins the search for the cure, only to discover a greater and more pervasive evil than he could ever have imagined.

Customer Reviews
David Eddings ,The Diamond Thrones
Another great book written by a master of his genre ,
The story hits all the spots for my avid fantasy heroic desires with plenty of good humour as well as a compelling story that just has to be read from front to back ,like an enjoyable dessert that is consumed far too quickly !
Can't wait to read the next book :-).
