Jem, true prince of Ejland, sets out on the second stage of his quest, seeking the long-lost mystic crystals of the gods. Jem heads for the city of Agondon seeking the green Crystal of Viana. Meanwhile his true love, Cata, is caught in the machinations of her evil Aunt Umbecca. Robbed of her memory, scrubbed and civilised, the wild girl has been turned into a lady. Cata recalls nothing of her powers – or of Jem, but her memory is beginning to stir …

Prince Jemany is plunged into a seething hotbed of political machinations and rebellion as he begins the next stage of his quest to seek the long-lost crystals of the Orokon. Already the anti-god Toth Vexrah is working his evil upon the susceptible and easily swayed. Only Jem stands in his way—but Jem is trapped in the bizarre, horrifying dreamworld of the enchanter Almoran. Meanwhile his lost love Cata becomes embroiled with the Shimmering Princess, the idol of millions, whose fate holds the key to the Sultan’s empire – and to the whereabouts of the pulsing red crystal of the fire god Theron. This is the third volume in Tom Arden's uniquely entertaining saga of the Orokon.

Slave galleys, ghost ships, shipwrecks and sea monsters are only preludes to Prince Jemany's confrontation with the evil Sisterhood of the Blue Storm as he seeks the fourth crystal, Wenaya's blue jewel. The latest instalment in this epic saga is a whirling fantasia of swashbuckling adventure, tragedy and triumph, of comedy and romance, of heart-stopping action and unforgettable, larger-than-life characters, caught up in a quest on which hangs the fate of the world.

Long ago, the mysterious bearers of a golden, magical jewel retreated to the Lamasery of the Winds, high in the mountains. Then came the avalanche. Many think the lamasery has been destroyed. Others know the truth is stranger by far. Caught between dimensions, its powers persist and grow. But are they powers of good—or welling, insidious evil? Returning at last to his rightful kingdom, Prince Jemany faces the final conflict in his desperate battle to reunite the sacred Crystals of Orok and defeat his evil rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah, whose campaign of conquest is now almost complete. In an icy, midwinter city, ravaged by terrorism, brutal murder and impending war, Jem struggles for clues to his last, most mysterious, and most powerful prize, the searing, sun-like crystal of the sky god Agonis. From its mysterious opening scenes to its devastating climax, Empress of the Endless Dream, the fifth and final volume of Tom Arden's apocalyptic fantasy epic, is a helter-skelter, heart-stopping rush of black humour and horror, murder and mysticism, the divine and the depraved.
