Emily and Prince Trellis both have access to amulets that give them special abilities. But the amulets are very powerful—more powerful, perhaps, than the people who hold them. And the Voice behind each amulet often seeks to control its wearer. As the elves and the Guard prepare to do battle, Emily and Prince Trellis must figure out how to use the power of their amulets without being overtaken by them. Meanwhile, Max Griffin, the leader of the elf army, is having amulet troubles of his own—troubles that just might destroy him before he destroys the Guard.

The lines between good and evil are blurred in this suspenseful, action-packed installment in the epic series.
