Book two of The Crystal Point Legacy continues with the company on the run as they flee the two massive black armies surging up from the Great Southern Wastelands. Having seen their lands brutally savaged by the raw power and magic of the dark wizards who are bent on the total destruction of the races of men, four lone figures struggle to evade capture. Three small Sheimas and an outsider to their world are embroiled in a quest to deliver the one talisman that possesses the magic to prevent annihilation. Their journey has been short but arduous and their company is no longer whole. Death lingers for the outsider and their quest teeters in the balance as they find themselves trapped within the Barrier Forest. They desperately need help and the one place they can look is forbidden to all; the lands of Weredor and the hand of the Outcast.
