"The long struggle is over at last. The demon dactyl is no more, its dark sorceries shattered by the gemstone magic wielded by the woman known as Pony. But victory has not come easily. Many lives were lost, including Ponyâs lover, the elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden.
Despite the dactylâs demise, the kingdom still seethes in the same cauldron of plots and machinations. But when a deadly sickness suddenly appears among the people of Corona, Pony must undertake a pilgrimage that will test her powersâand her faithâas never before. Watching her every step of the way is the man she hates above all else: Marcalo DeâUnnero, the villain responsible for Elbryanâs death... who would desire nothing more than to lead Pony down that same treacherous path to destruction."
