  Long ago, the mysterious bearers of a golden, magical jewel retreated to the Lamasery of the Winds, high in the mountains. Then came the avalanche. Many think the lamasery has been destroyed. Others know the truth is stranger by far. Caught between dimensions, its powers persist and grow. But are they powers of good -- or welling, insidious evil? Returning at last to his rightful kingdom, Prince Jemany faces the final conflict in his desperate battle to reunite the sacred Crystals of Orok and defeat his evil rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah, whose campaign of conquest is now almost complete. In an icy, midwinter city, ravaged by terrorism, brutal murder and impending war, Jem struggles for clues to his last, most mysterious, and most powerful prize, the searing, sun-like crystal of the sky god Agonis. From its mysterious opening scenes to its devastating climax, Empress of the Endless Dream, the fifth and final volume of Tom Arden's apocalyptic fantasy epic, is a helter-skelter, heart-stopping rush of black humour and horror, murder and mysticism, the divine and the depraved.

  Jemany Vexing was once a little crippled boy who lived with his evil Aunt Umbecca and dreamed of a life he could never have - until he met the wild girl Cata, gained the use of his legs and discovered himself to be Prince Jemany, the true Heir to the throne of Ejland. But his discoveries came with a high cost: Jem was sent off to find the five long-lost crystals of the Orokon before the anti-god Toth-Vexrah could get his hands on them. Only if the crystals are reunited will the world be safe from the depredations of the mad immortal. Through the first four books Jem and his closest companions, Cata and Raj, have overcome wild magic to find the crystals, but in the final apocalyptic volume, time is running out ...and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. In the magical world of the Orokon, nothing is ever quite as it seems and the apocalyptic climax will astound and enthrall Tom Arden's legion of admirers.
