Something is there that feeds on magic. Seven players, seven kingdoms, seven towers:

Eltiron, Prince of Sevarin: caught in the web of his father's intrigues. Crystalorn, Princess of Barinash: promised in marriage to a prince she's never seen. Ranlyn, the desert rider: forced to choose between friendship and honor. Jermain, the outlaw: exiled from court for the crime of telling the truth. Vandaris, the soldier: who left the life of luxury to wield a sword and lead an army. Carachel, the Wizard-King: who does not understand the awesome power he commands. Amberglas, the sorceress: who may not be quite as fuddleheaded as she seems.

Seven players in a game of deadly magic. Seven kingdoms at the edge of destruction. Seven towers holding a dark and dreadful secret...
