The terrible Serpent M'gulfn has been destroyed, but Earth's future is
in peril. Its death has unleashed a chaotic power that may prove more
dangerous than the Serpent itself. Journeying to Gorethria comes
Melkavesh, daughter of Ashurek and Silvren, determined to harness the
new power of sorcery for good. But can she resist the temptation to
claim her birthright--the dark throne renounced by Ashurek?
A ruthless usurper, Xaedrek, has already seized Gorethria's throne and
is working his own warped form of sorcery to restore the evil empire. To
save the Earth, Melkavesh must defeat him. But she has reckoned without
Xaedrek's seductive charm.
