| As the Princess of Ra-Jee, Ra-May has spent her life in seclusion with only her guardian, former Royal Guard Captain Ra-Nu, for company. Ra-Nu has protected her since her kingdom's fall into the evil power of dreaded Del-a-Shar, the "Soul Stealer". She has been content with her life so far in the safety of her valley, as she works to fine-tune her magical and fighting abilities and, as "The Child of Gold", learn the power of the Ancient Gold Crystal. But she has been having strange visions, visions of a strong and brave warrior who fights at her side to regain her kingdom. She is drawn to finding this mysterious, dark warrior and thus begins her quest.
Staid Prince Michall of Doran has been touched by visions that haunt him, visions of himself and a golden beauty fighting side-by-side with death and destruction all around them. On his birthday he is presented with the Sword of Power, the magical sword of his visions. And he receives an unexpected gift in the midst of his celebrations; the golden enchantress from his dreams appears and captures his heart. Michall and Ra-May begin their journey with Ra-Nu and Michall's cousin, Phillip, who will not be left behind. This courageous group grows in number as they find allies along the way, learning to trust in one another through uncertainty and unknown. Their journey takes some odd twists and turns when the intrepid troupe is suddenly split up, being sent to different places and times in both the past and the future. Will they reunite and be able to defeat the evil of Del-a-Shar and save Ra-Jee? Will Ra-May and Michall live a long and happy life together? Only time will tell this tale….. Sheri L.
