Omschrijving

An ancient fable, a mysterious stranger, and a kidnapped king. The truth is not what it seems... and danger awaits at every turn.

Many, many years ago, a wondrous bird flew into the mountains of Tolan. In its claws, it bore a giant stone, a stone of fire. The bird dropped the stone somewhere in the mountains, where it shattered. The one who finds its fragments shall have power beyond belief.

The Ring of Rosin has unexpectedly disappeared. Join King Rugal on his quest to recover the ring symbolizing his right to rule, forged from the stone of fire. A mysterious companion joins the young monarch on a perilous journey. Rugal's shadowy ally leads him to the nomadic Kargoliths, who are locked in an ongoing dispute with the neighboring kingdom of Tolan. As destinies intertwine amidst the clashing cultures, the fates of Elayas, Tolan, and the Kargoliths hang in the balance.

Will the Ring of Rosin's power on the Day of Questioning help Rugal defeat the foreign threat to Elayas, or will it be used to destroy him?

"Golden's novel works effectively as both a continuation of her series and as a standalone story. While readers might find familiarity with the events in Sword of Fate helpful, it's hardly essential, as Golden does a skillful job of using flashbacks to reveal the necessary history of this land and its people. Between the deft exposition and the back-of-the-book supplemental sections detailing the "Characters of Elayas," the "Terminology of Elayas," and the "Kargolith Tribal Ancestry," no readers should be left adrift (the titular piece of jewelry is described here as "a red diamond set in a ring of gold. It glows and hums musically when worn by the true king"). All told, this well-constructed fantasy is filled with likable characters in an engaging magical world. Clever concepts smoothly combine to create an enjoyable fantasy yarn."
—Kirkus Reviews

Follow King Rugal as he faces the greatest threat to his reign since his coronation. An exciting adventure of valor and unlikely friendships the whole family can enjoy!
