About the Book
An ancient power.
Hidden for millennia in a legendary city on an
uninhabited continent, the Heart of Nidaar can harness the forces of
nature itself. In the wrong hands, the artifact is a weapon that can
command the power of the earth and seas to destroy all life. Just the
type of power a sinister goblin brotherhood finds irresistible. In their hands, kingdoms will be forced to surrender to their rule.
A team of royals and rogues.
Chief mage (and nearly rehabilitated practitioner of black magic) Tamnais
Nathrach is the perfect goblin duke to stop them. Along with elf pirate
Phaelan Benares, these two have a roguish plan to sail to Aquas and
snatch the Heart of Nidaar before it can fall into the wrong hands.
After all, stealing hearts is what these two do best. Who cares if
goblins and elves have been in a near constant state of war for
centuries? This common enemy is enough motivation for some teamwork and a little professional competition.
The adventure of a lifetime.
Perhaps Tamnais and Phaelan have forgotten one small fact. Expeditions that
sail to the continent of Aquas never return. It’s a blighted wasteland
filled with creatures from nightmare and Tamnais might have failed to
mention that the Heart has guardians, an ancient race willing to use
deadly force to keep themselves and the artifact hidden. Alliances are
tested, courage is challenged, and nothing less than the future of all
life in the Seven Kingdoms is at stake in the deadliest — and most
competitive — treasure hunt of all time.
