rid their land of an evil tyrant, Lief, Barda and Jasmine are on a
perilous quest to find the lost gems, which are hidden in fearsome
places throughout the kingdom. They have found three gems. Now they must
seek the fourth, hidden in a shimmering, barren waste, kept jealously by
an unknown guardian. Confusion and strange, terrible enemies await them
in the ordeal of the Shifting Sands.
