How far would you go to save your family? When the kingdom of Arualia is attacked, the king falls victim to a deadly poison. Now his children must go on a quest to find a cure, following the words of an ancient prophecy and a map of unknown origins. But fulfilling the prophecy will lead to more than they could ever have imagined as they journey to the edge of the world - and beyond. Here lies a world of forgotten legends and ancient history that may just hold the clues they need to find the cure. But the enemy is close at hand, and he will stop at nothing to prevent them from finding it. And if they can't get it in time, it will be the end not just for them but for the entire kingdom as well. Emily G Watson developed a love of story, adventure, and exploration from a young age, living in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates and the rainforests of Singapore before her family finally relocated to Texas. Her adventures both in books and the great big world we call Earth have fueled her imagination and inspired more stories in her head than she could possibly write in one lifetime. She graduated from the University of Houston's Honors College with a BA in History. After teaching US History for six years in a Northwest Houston public high school, Emily now continues her explorations and adventures as a park ranger.

A year has passed since the defeat of Clint Starnor. While Walter is eager for the chance to pursue a Proving Quest and knighthood, Aaron still questions whether he wishes to do the same. But there seem to be more important questions that need answering. Wildfires have been plaguing Arualia for the last year. While most would blame it on the hot dry weather, the Knights of the Order of the Roses suspect there is something more sinister behind them. Then there are Aaron's dreams. Dreams of fire chasing him through hallways and tunnels. The fires seem to be following them – as does the woman's voice that mocks them from the flames. A voice that haunts the edge of Walter's memory. And then a mysterious librarian reveals a startling secret about Aaron's sword. Trapped on an unfamiliar mountainside, the children find themselves at the whims and mercies of a fire-wielding witch. They must enter a desperate search to the heart of the mountain to find the secret of Aaron's sword before the witch claims the sword's power for herself – a power that could destroy the world.
