Ehlana, Queen of Elenia, had been poisoned. A deep enchantment sustained her life, but only while the Knights aiding it still lived—and already they were dying, one each month. Then Sparhawk, Knight and Queen’s Champion, learned that the cure for the poison was the Bhellion, the great jewel lost when Sarak of Thalesia had died in battle, five hundred years before. Sparhawk and his companions set forth to find King Sarak’s grave by raising ghosts of those who had perished in that ancient battle. The Seeker, an insectile monster spawned of the evil God Azash, hounded their every step. Still Sparkawk pressed on, driven by desperate need. They had to find Bhellion before his queen could perish. They must not fail!

Sir Sparhawk and his companions seek the Bhelliom, an antidote to a rare poison administered to Elenia's queen. ``Eddings's delightful style propels the reader along a well-crafted and carefully unfolding course, and even through the few places he falls back on cliches of the genre,'' said PW. (Dec.)

Book two of the classic ELENIUM trilogy. The quest for the jewel of life continues. Time is running out for the poisoned Queen Ehlana. If she is to be saved Sparhawk must find the only cure – a powerful artefact called the Bhelliom – before it's too late. But finding the rose-shaped sapphire is no simple task. No one has set eyes upon it since it was lost in the heat of a legendary battle. To make matters worse, Sparhawk and his allies are not the only party questing to find the jewel. Years past, the Child-Goddess Aphrael had hidden Bhelliom, the Stone Power. It rested at the very bottom of the deepest ocean, that nevermore should its awesome power sing temptation to mortal men. Now Sparhawk, Knight, and Quen's Champion, must retrieve that Sapphire Rose from its briny sleep. For only with the might of Bhelliom could he hope to thwart the fiendish schemes directed against the Tamul empire, and against his own homeland Ehlana, queen of Elenia, clings to life by a thread, preserved within a diamond-like block of crystal conjured by a sorceress with the aid of a dozen Pandion knights. For a year, their lives will save hers. However there is a lost jewel which will save her life, if it can be found The beleaguered Tamul Emperor Sarabian needs his Elenian neighbours Sparhawk and Queen Ehlana if he is to defeat the vast conspiracy ranged against his ancient power. Most disturbing of all among his enemies are the Shining Ones, luminous beings that kill with a touch. The epic story begun in 'The Diamond Throne' continues in this book. Ehlana, the young queen of Elenia is preserved in a block of crystal. Sparhawk, the queen's champion, leads his knights on a quest which can save her Sparhawk, Knight and Queen's Champion, and his companions brave untold perils as they seek the Bhelliom, a fabulous, long-lost jewel with the power to cure the poison that threatens the life of Ehlana, Queen of Elenia IT WAS WELL after midnight, and a dense gray fog had crept in off the Cimmura River to mingle with pervading wood smoke from a thousand chimneys to blur the nearly deserted streets of the city. Possession of the jewel makes Sparhawk as dangerous as any god, but gods are among his foes. And while Sparhawk defends the far-flung Tamuli Empire, he cannot also protect his beautiful Queen Sparhawk and a few brave companions set out on a desperate quest to save the Queen of Elenia The seasons were turning, and the long summer was winding down toward autumn. It was early spring, and the rain still had the lingering chill of winter. Valete 1992-Michael Fritschy Valete 1992-Alexander Ross
