"Know this: there are those who can see ahead, just as you do also, they see the future. Yet they use it to gain power over those who seek them out so they may control them, and not in love to guide and warn as the servants of Dominio use it. They are mystics who garble strange gibberish that they pass off as knowledge, diviners who call on evil spirits that they may see what lies ahead." The Valeriun Empire has fallen into the hands of a violent man who seeks power above all else, and declares himself divine. The persecution of the Alexandrians intensifies, spreading fear throughout the land. Marcus Maximus mourns the loss of his greatest treasure, but receives enlightening information regarding its theft. Dag Adalbart suffers for the cause of the Kingdom, and faces an uncertain fate. Their teenaged children form an alliance to stand up to the wicked Iacomus, boldly going to the aid of their fellow Alexandrians. In Eirinia, a web of wickedness is being spun around the villagers, with the Adalbart family the selected prey. Around them, the Tuadan increase in power, making their presence known as terror mounts through the countryside. And it is up to the seer Kyrene to piece together the puzzle that is Melisande, and to break her hold over those under her spell before it is too late. Quest For the Kingdom by L. M.
