Only Jern standsin his way but Jem is trapped in the bizarre, horrifying dreamworld of the enchanter Almoran.
Meanwhile his lost love Cata becomes embroiled with the Shimmering Princess, the idol of millions, whose fate holds the key to the Sultan?s empire ? and to the whereabouts of the third crystal, the pulsing red crystal of the fire god Theron.
