The stirring final book of the Averil trilogy finds the Taalian Alliance again threatened by the evil sorcerer Malidon.
Malidon has captured the iron forges of Suther, stemming the flow of weapons to the rest of the world. Averil, now Aum’s Chief Trader-Diplomat, must find the Winged Spear of Iraz, an ancient magical weapon that could finally defeat Malidon and save Averil’s world from destruction.
But the spear is lost. Its custodian, the Beast of Dreyon, helped Averil once. Will it help her again? Does it know the whereabouts of the Spear? Can Averil uncover the secret before all is lost to Malidon’s malicious powers?
