4.9/5 (20052 ratings)

Description:“I heard of a legend, one I have never forgotten. It was said that there is a great Pearl, a gem of marvelous and terrible beauty. It was said that it is more costly than gold, more precious than silver, more glorious than any other jewel to be found in all the world. And it was said that any one could buy it, but the price of it cost all that one possessed. Have you ever heard of this Pearl, Marcus?” “No, Your Grace, I have never heard of it.” “I have been obsessed with the thought of possessing that Pearl since first I heard of it. I sent messengers far and wide for further news of it, of where it might be found. But no one could tell me more. Yet I know it exists; of that I am certain.” Aurora leaned toward Marcus, gripping tightly the arms of her throne. Her jade eyes glittered with a greedy light in their green depths. “I want that Pearl, Marcus. I will never rest until I possess it. And I want you to find it and bring it back to me.” “What of my parents? My journey may be a long one. What of them? How long must they be your prisoners?” Aurora lifted her head slightly and shot Marcus a dazzling smile. Then she laughed a tinkling laugh like the jingle of silver bells. “Oh, did I not make it clear to you? The release of your parents depends upon the success of your quest. No Pearl, no parents.” Marcus struggled for breath. He stared at Aurora blindly, the room spinning around him once more. “I want that Pearl. You go and get it for me. Then we will talk about releasing your parents. But, Marcus, you bring me that Pearl.” "All may seek, and all may buy, the Great Pearl of price so rare, But it costs all you possess, So let the buyer beware." Thus begins the riddle that leads young Marcus Maximus, the proud and snobbish son of the Commander of the Imperial Army of Valerium, on the quest of a lifetime. In a single day his world of wealth and privilege is destroyed when he is seized and sold into slavery, his father's estate confiscated by the government, and his parents thrown into prison. And he discovers that during his slavery his one true love has turned to another: his closest friend, who is now a rival for her hand. Now an Empress as ruthless as she is beautiful demands that Marcus find and bring to her a legendary and costly Pearl as the price for his life and the freedom of his beloved parents. The quest takes him to fantastic lands where he meets extraordinary people and is joined by unusual companions, but he finds more questions than answers along his journey. For he will learn of the mysterious and powerful Dominio, be haunted and hunted by the evil Astra, and receive the gift of a fabulous sword that must never be used in violence.
