Synopsis: Galkis was doomed. It was attacked by enemy armies without and torn by intrigues within. There seemed no hope for this proud and golden city. Yet, almost forgotten in the lore of the Empire, there was a story of a saviour imprisoned behind seven gates --and the keys to the gates were held by seven mysterious sorcerers. No one knew where they could be found, or even whether they had ever existed. But the last hope for Galkis was for the saviour to be found and freed. The old High Priest believed there was only one person he could send on such a mission--Kerish-lo-Taan, the Emperor's third son, who was Godborn. But, though Kerish possessed many strange powers, his father had forbidden him to be taught their use. And he was still a boy who had never lived outside the pampered circle of court life. Nevertheless Kerish agreed to go, with his half-brother Forollkin to accompany him. Into the blue, chasing a legend: on this frail thread hung the fate and destiny of a nation. Prince of the Godborn is the first of four books that tell the extraordinary story of "Seven Citadels."
