Seven years have passed since Queen Sylvia liberated Aurba from the sorcerer lords whose war for world domination left the continent in ruins. Since then, the four deposed tyrants, Clement, Darien, Lillian and Xanaphia have suffered in lonely exile. They return for revenge only to discover someone has beaten them to her. Darlyth, lord of the demons, has broken free of his millennia long imprisonment and seeks to steal the source of Sylvia’s legendary powers, an enchanted tiara only she can control. As Queen Sylvia suffers horrific tortures, cruel betrayals, and the cunning schemes of the demon lord’s disloyal minions, the four mortal enemies must battle harsh weather, inner doubts, vicious monsters and the greatest evil to ever walk the land. All in a quest to save the life of someone they’d rather kill and prevent the destruction of a world they almost destroyed.

"On the street with gangs in three world cities - Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, and Capetown - Hagedorn discovers that many of them have institutionalized as a strategy to confront a hopeless cycle of poverty, racism, and oppression. The mhilistic appeal of gangsta rap and its ethic of survival "by any means necessary," he argues, provides vital insights into the ideology and persistence of gangs around the world. Proposing how gangs can be encouraged to overcome their violent tendencies, Hagedorn appeals to community leaders to use the urgency, outrage, and resistance common to both gang life and hip-hop to bring gangs into broader movements for social justice."--BOOK JACKET.
