From the cover - Vesper Holly has big planswhen she and her guardian Brinnie set sails for the tiny country of Illyria. Once there, Vesper will search for the legendary treasure and army of magical warriors that belonged to old King Vartan, whose great deeds only her father believed were true.

But from the moment they arrive, Vesper and Brinnie land smack in the middle of a great struggle between the rebel forces - led by the mysterious new Vartan - and their Zentan rulers. Suddenly Vesper has enemies who will do anything to stop her from reaching her goal. Vesper needs someone to trust. But who is friend and who is foe?
