Jen Lancaster has uncovered her true heritage and begun training in the ways of the Omnimancer. But at what cost? The Guild's headquarters lies in ruins, thousands of sorcerers have been brutally murdered and the Halostone still remains hidden. Armed with only Merlin's journal and a final command by the Guild's grand mystra sorcerer, Jen has no choice but to lead her friends on a daring mission to locate the five lost MystiCrystals before Lord Draconex and his apprentice do. For whoever collects them all will be shown the path to the Halostone, the resting place of Lord Ferox who was once the most sinister sorcerer to walk the eleven realms. Jen and her friends will travel to the farthest reaches of the earth visiting fabled cities of myth and coming face to face with powerful legendary creatures the likes of which only the strong and determined have been able to survive. Limits will be tested, revelations will blur the lines between friend and foe and one side will emerge victorious as Jen realizes that everyone has their own personal crusade. --Back cover
