Summary

From the searing heat of the desert to the vastness of the savannah, The Onyx Crown tells the story of Jorann, Gesi, and Sania, three children who grow up in a pre-medieval era of wars and successions, not 15 years after the greatest king in the history of the continent has been deposed and assassinated.

When the legendary warrior of Numerian history, K’Nan of Loffri is hired to guide a hunting expedition he is astonished to discover that one of the hunter’s slaves, Jorann, a boy of 13, bears the legendary mark of the Onyx Crown, a mark he’s been searching for since the death of his sworn king many years before.

Many miles to the east, Gesi is despairing of his life in East Rhydor as a commoner companion to Zoe and Zadeemo, the twin siblings of the tribal prince. Good enough to run their errands, but not learn the ways of nobility, he astonishes them when one day he shows the uncanny ability to match the famous knight, Jorell Boro, in single combat.

Deep within the savannah, Sania is working as an errand runner in the pleasure house where she has been raised since young. As usual, she is wreaking havoc on the customers with her practical jokes and tantrums - except this time her antics will lead her on an adventure she may not be prepared for.

Join this trio on their epic journey as they discover their destiny and the true meaning of the Onyx Crown.
