The Crowned Guardians

Darj's smile faded as he read on. 'The Zalems . . . ' He swallowed. 'They have the Targian crown.' The Zalems remain a cruel force that worship evil and power. Now, their Supreme Overlord is taking steps to personally rectify the cult's past failures. Assassination and theft herald the beginning of a war that, if lost, will see the kingdoms of the Rhea Lands fade from history forever. With the help of Alexia, Darj, and Elhian, Adaliah must race against time to unravel messages from the past and save her people from the Zalems' eternal plans before all is lost to darkness.
