With the help of Teak, a local farm hand, Ivanore flees from the Vatez into the forest. While recuperating from her injuries, she becomes an apprentice to an elderly enchantress who teaches her how to control her abilities. Unaware that Ivanore is in Hestoria, Jayson commits to working off the cost of Brommel's passage to Dokur, where he hopes he and his young son will be safe.
About the The Crystal Keeper Series: Jayson lives among the shadows of Hestoria, his sole purpose for staying alive - to protect his half of the Seer's crystal. Exiled from his homeland for loving the king's daughter, Ivanore, Jayson is now pursued by two opposing factions: the Vatez (League of Sorcerers) who intend to use the crystal for their own selfish gain, and the Guilde, the ancient guardians of the crystal.
Meanwhile, Ivanore flees from her father to Hestoria in search of Jayson. As the Seer, she is plagued with visions of him being tortured and is determined to rescue him. When the Vatez capture her, however, she unwittingly jeopardizes everything Jayson has vowed to protect. He must now make a terrible choice: Should he save Ivanore or save the crystal?
