Excerpt:
Prologue
The black-robed wizard
slipped through the doorway leading to the Queen’s chamber. He paused and
studied the wan woman propped against the black silk pillows. As he approached
the bed, his robes rustled.
The Queen
grasped the Black Jewel, symbol of her reign. “Be gone, I say. I have no need
of you.”
“Your time has
passed. ‘Tis time to cede the Jewel to your successor.”
“Not yet.” She
raised the Black Jewel. Dark rays pulsed in its heart. “Be gone and let me be.”
He
evaded the dark beams. “What of the White?”
She
laughed. “Do you think I fear that thing? My sister failed to find the gem. For
generations, there has been no sign of its existence. There have been but myths
and rumors.”
He smiled. “The
White stirs. I sought and I found.”
“Where?” Her
eyes narrowed.
‘Tis where it
has always been, waiting for the one who can hold the jewel. But fear not. ‘Tis
not your battle. Soon you will be gone, and I will have the training of the one
who is to follow you. This time there will be no mistakes. As Holder and Chosen , she and I will rule.”
“Be gone, dark wizard.”
The Queen raised the Black and poured her anger into the gem. Thunder roiled
the silent night and a great display of colored lightning brightened the sky
above the palace.
