Description:

A powerful vampire warlock named Taza is brought through the void by Adois, a vengeful goddess, who lends him her staff so that he can turn the planet from good to evil. Taza convinces a race of dark elves, to take on the cloak of vampirism, but his careful planning is jeopardized when Prince Tarquin is born to fulfill a prophecy. Tarquin however, cannot succeed alone. Morganna, a dark elf, must save Tarquin from certain death, if she stops her vampire cousin from destroying the Prince.. Tarquin is sent to the dwarvan militia to learn combat skills by joining an elite group of soldiers known as the Borderers. He is championed by Master Wizard Celedant, who begins his search for the Staff of Adaman - the only object capable of defeating the Staff of Adois. Book one of the trilogy begins the search for the first of two pieces of the ancient staff as Taza's assassins hunt the Prince to thwart the prophecy. Tarquin, however, is not the only target. Celedant must confront not only assassins, but powerful and dangerous creatures brought through the void to destroy the wizard as well as the growing resistance. But first, Celedant must undergo a trial in the Dragon's Tear to prove his worthiness to find and use the Staff of Adaman. If he passes, he can reconstruct the Staff and hopefully defeat the monster that wields it. If he fails, not only will the world be overrun by darkness, but Celedant will be lost in the Dragon's Tear for all eternity. Read More
