Description

The second volume in the magial Runespell trilogy.
Caspar travels South into Belbidida with his companions Hal and Brid, straight into the heart of the New Faith, the enemy of Brids Goddess. The trio trail Vaalakan spies, seeking out the Druids Eye the Egg- in all its glory. The Eggs power alone can keep the fortress of Torra Alta safe.

But in the land of the Inquisition, all trace of ancient lore has been stamped out, including a sect of mute priestesses known as the Keepers. As the fate of Torra Alta hangs in the balance, Caspar must race to find the Lost Runes the Keepers guarded, or the Eye may never be found
