    Like a dark jewel, there are many facets to a curse.    As the Bellringer now learns...    The conspiracy has formed. Robby will make his bid to become King. First, he must go to the mythical place called Griferis, on the far side of the world. But no sooner than their journey begins, Robby and his band of friends face delay and obstacle. Along the way, they make new acquaintances, people both inscrutable and mysterious.    Lord Tallin, brooding and powerful, haunted and paralyzed by a perfect memory. But he is the only person who might buy Robby the time he needs, if only he can shake himself to action.    Lyrium, an Elifaen Firstborn, mysterious and secretive, come to test Robby, and to advise him. But when she meets Robby's companions, one in particular, she is filled with wonder, and with foreboding.    Esildre, beautiful and enigmatic, fighting against the curse that Secundur put upon her. One of Robby's companions will soon fall prey to her enchantment.    When Robby and his companions are captured by pixies, he bargains for their freedom, and risks unleashing the little folk upon an unsuspecting world. Meanwhile, he is trailed by mercenaries, tracked by black eagles, and followed by an elusive Dreamwalker who holds the key to Robby's greatest power.    And darker forces now stir, forces that only Robby can thwart.    But only if he can reach Griferis in time, and come to fully understand...                                     The Nature of a Curse.--------------------------------------------------------About The Year of the Red Door244 Days Remain.That is all.The Year of the Red Door has begun, and four months have already passed by.   This is the story of the last 244 days.Uncanny things are taking place in the world, mysterious powers are stirring, and there are signs of coming change.   Like pieces on a gameboard, ancient forces are moving into position, gathering strength.   Many sense the portents and see the signs, but few know their meaning.   Fewer still understand what must be done.   But who is there to do it?In only 244 days, six intrepid travelers must cross thousands of miles, to the far edge of the world, to find a place that may not even exist.   A legendary place called Griferis where a new king may be prepared, trained, and judged for worthiness.   It is their bid to find that place, to discover the secret Name of the King, and to make one of their companions the new King.   But hope is thin, and time runs out.   Can the Name be found?   Can the Usurper use it to take the throne?   And will it make any difference?   It already seems too late.In the spirit of J.R.R.

For centuries, the Great Bell was silent...It remained undisturbed, nearly forgotten by history, hidden away in the ruins of an abandoned fortress.   The enchantments within its iron slumbered, its secrets protected by silence.   Until someone discovered how to ring the Bell, other secrets would remain safe.One day, while running an errand, a young store clerk took a wrong turn, then another, until he found himself deep within the old fortress where the Great Bell waited.It waited for him.And when the hapless clerk rang the Great Bell and released its enchantments, his troubles began.For he had become the Bellringer.He claimed it was all an accident, that he did not mean to ring the Bell.   Fate, it seemed, thought otherwise, and proof of the Bellringer's destiny began to emerge just as the world spiraled into war.   Revolt and treachery worked to break apart the Seven Realms.   Armies were on the march.   The faraway King, obsessed with his own power, seemed unwilling or unable to prevent the looming catastrophe.Perhaps a new King was needed...if only someone could penetrate the secret of the King's power and take the throne before it was too late.   It was foretold that the person who discovered the True Name of the King would become the next King.   But who was capable of such a thing?The Bellringer.--------------------------------------------------------About The Year of the Red Door244 Days Remain.That is all.The Year of the Red Door has begun, and four months have already passed by.   This is the story of the last 244 days.Uncanny things are taking place in the world, mysterious powers are stirring, and there are signs of coming change.   Like pieces on a gameboard, ancient forces are moving into position, gathering strength.   Many sense the portents and see the signs, but few know their meaning.   Fewer still understand what must be done.   But who is there to do it?In only 244 days, six intrepid travelers must cross thousands of miles, to the far edge of the world, to find a place that may not even exist.   A legendary place called Griferis where a new king may be prepared, trained, and judged for worthiness.   It is their bid to find that place, to discover the secret Name of the King, and to make one of their companions the new King.   But hope is thin, and time runs out.   Can the Name be found?   Can the Usurper use it to take the throne?   And will it make any difference?   It already seems too late.In the spirit of J.R.R.
