Born in a small fishing village on the shores of Lake Superior, Ingrid Loftfield is an unlikely savior for a magical empire. But she has fallen in love with Avanasy, a sorcerer exiled from Isavalta who has taken refuge in our world. When he receives a message that his help is desperately needed, Ingrid courageously journeys with him to Isavalta. Magical enemies assail them from every side, and friends are few and far between. When a power greater than any they have yet encountered is unleashed against them, it is up to Ingrid to journey into the perilous Land of Death and Spirit and discover how to stop this foe.

Like A Sorcerer's Treason, The Usurper's Crown is a rich tapestry of action and suspense, magic and intrigue. From the first page to the last it is a thrilling journey -- a powerful, enthralling adventure in a fabulous world of marvels and terrors.
