Description:

The third volume in the Tynasian Sequence. Four days have passed since the Crystal of Mamanoth was snatched from under the arch-mage Bathmar’s nose; four days of peace and tranquillity; almost a return to normal. The adventure continues in The High Priestess of Lanca. For Synak the days have proved revolutionary as for the first time in his life he has found love. Elinia, the dark, slender and plain servant girl he rescued from the Temple of Gark has stolen his heart. The future, it would seem, looks rosy. Then, upon returning home after a night of relaxation at the Golden Vial, Synak discovers the house ransacked and Elinia gone. As he and Tass Harmon try to unravel the mystery a magical presence manifests itself. It is Sorrothar, Bathmar’s demon familiar. The deal is simple; return the crystal or Elinia dies.
