Humans share the world with the shape-changing Bhahdradomen, who they defeated in war centuries ago, and the mysterious Aelyr, who keep apart but also consider the Bhahdradomen as enemies. Now, the shapechangers' wiles inflame a king's madness and lead to war and murder. Two sisters and two brothers from a quiet village are about to be dragged into the conflict, where they will find unlooked-for destinies.
In the second volume of her stunning Jewelfire Trilogy, Freda Warrington moves the action into a different plane of being - the world of the Aelyr, elf-like beings who claim relationship with Warrington's heroine, Tanthe. The war seems to be over. Helananthe, granddaughter of the mad king, Garnelys, has gathered her forces and defeated the Amber Citadel of Parione and its evil Bhahdradomen advisers - but matters are not so simple. The destinies of Tanthe and Ysomir, the sisters whose journeys from their village home of Riverwynde impinged so much upon the shaping of the war, have driven them apart. Ysomir is held in the palace, accused of killing Garnelys; Tanthe is pulled through a portal to the world of the mysterious Aelyr by a youth who calls himself her brother - an Aelyr youth. However, there are darker schemes afoot. As the tale unfolds Tanthe faces challenges from her human friends and her Aelyr "family". Rufryd, brother of Ysomir's dead beloved, rages against the world, and becomes Helananthe's ambassador to the Bhahdradomen on the island of Vexor, where a terrible fate awaits him. And the Nine Kingdoms will be changed forever...
As this final volume of The Jewelfire Trilogy opens, all seems lost for the humans of Aventuria. The shape-changing Bhahdradomen have invaded their lands and usurped their Queen, aided by the Aelyr lord Falthorn. Queen Helananthe has been forced to stand down or see the death of her mother and brother. Tanthe, imprisoned with her company of friends in The Amber Citadel, must face great peril as they make desperate plans to escape. But even if they succeed, her sister Ysomir is still imprisoned in Parione, the capital city, at the mercy of the terrible Bhahdradomen leader Vaurgroth. One by one, all strands of hope are cut. Deserted by allies, betrayed by Falthorn's dark machinations, the Nine Realms appear doomed. Human, Aelyr and shape-shifter alike are haunted by visions of the final portent, the mysterious Obsidian Tower; a Bhahdradomen myth, a place that may or may not exist, and the heart of Tanthe's darkest fears. Meanwhile, Rufryd - Tanthe's ex-lover - is presumed lost on the shape-changers' desolate isle of Vexor. Then stunning news comes from that direction...
