The sapphire rose

Summary: Finally the knight Sparhawk has come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that could alone save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in the Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana fromt he crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure. But Bhelliom carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by assassins, and - he believed- by a darker, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch God, Azash was behind the threat or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say - only that the saphire rose help powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear. Restoring Queen Ehlana would only be the beginning of Sparhawk's mission. With the allies from his quest - the four stalwart Knights, one from each Militant Order; the novice Berit; the squire Kurik; and the young thief Talen- Sparhawk must also thwart Ehlana's poisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread God the one thing Azash thirsted for-Bhelliom istelf! - from the book jacket
