Book III of The Elenium. Finally, Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure. But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch God Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say - only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear. Restoring Queen Ehlana would be only the beginning of Sparhawk’s mission. With the aid of four knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart the Primate Annias in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For as Arch-Prelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread God the one thing Azash thirsted for - Bhelliom itself. -

Book II of the Tamuli. Before Queen Ehlana took a hand in his education, the Tamul Emperor Sarabian was a mere puppet ruler. His territories were prey to insurrection; Sparhawk and the giant Atans crushed one such rebellion within the gates of the Tamul capital Matherion. But greater turmoil threatens: Trolls, Cyrgai, vampires, ghouls, zombies and Ogres form a conspiracy to take over the Empire. Most disturbing of all, reports of Shining Ones amongst the hordes. The luminous beings inspire more fear than the rest combined. There are divine masterminds involved in the conspiracy against Sarabian and he must emulate Ehlana's ruthless statesmanship if he is to hold the centre of his Empire together as Sparhawk defends the far flung Tamul Empire.
