The Crown Prince seeks answers to an archaic phrase; Kluff's powersword, Infinity, resonates mysteriously; something distant and secret awakens. Moons earlier across the ocean, the young King is crowned amidst veiled intrigue for the throne while a Half-Elf sparks a quest for clues to the nearly forgotten Swordsmen of the Freethinkers and their secret stronghold somewhere in the wilderness of the Blackface Mountains, perhaps within a haunted, ancient palace. Forbidden sorcery clashes with rare magicks and mystic powers in a struggle for supremacy. THORNS OF THE CROWN presents a new tapestry, enmeshed with events and persons described in A BRIDGE OF DOOM, unfolding in a new direction, expanding the tales and histories of FE'eck spinning under a double star.
