The pearl. An important and ancient relic. It has stood for a long time as an earnest between two peoples. But now it is gone. Into the hands of the serpent. The pearl is a large and precious jewel given to the kingdom by the Hindenman. But it was stolen in the Great Rebellion. Now it rests in the hands of the serpent. Whoever or whatever that is. David, a prince of the realm, is asked by the king his father to retrieve the pearl from whoever possesses it. In a country to the west. It will be a routine buying trip-so he thinks. But his father warns him that there may be more to it than that. There may be danger. He leaves for the west. And danger stalks him on many legs. Book 2 continues the adventure of The Pearl. From the author of The Stone, the Doombearers, Skyfallen and I Am Legion.
