Book excerpt: "Rali Emilie Antero, legendary warrior and sorceress extraordinaire, was no longer content to retire to her native Orissa after the grand adventures that had made her a hero. And so she set sail for distant lands and fresh challenges... until a spying mission brought her face-to-face with dread evil - a primitive but powerful force backed by the Ice Bear's army and fed by the souls of captured wizards. Even drawing on every last vestige of her considerable magic, Rali almost didn't make it out alive. Sorely wounded in body and spirit, she was left entombed in ice to dream for eternity. All Orissa thought her lost at sea and mourned her passing. Then she was awakened by a goddess and asked to undertake one more quest..." "Fifty years had gone by while Rali slept. And in that time, the entire Antero clan had been assassinated - save one: a golden child named Emilie who carried the magic of the Anteros in her blood and the hopes of all Orissa on her tiny shoulders. The enemy was one Rali knew all too well: Novari, the beautiful succubus who once had taken Rali's eye and hand... and nearly her life. Now the siren succubus had used her own deadly combination of sorcery, murder, and seduction to seize Orissa. All that remained in her quest for ultimate power was to seize little Emilie as well." "She never counted on the return of Rali Antero..."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
