Prince of the Magic Robert Ryan

Four Horsemen shall come, the prophecy warns, and they will trample the world beneath hooves of fire...



Gil will be king one day - if his enemies don't kill him first. To protect himself, he learns what he must. History teaches him to understand people. The warrior arts offer protection against assassins. And the secrets of the mystic armor him against dark spells. He will need it all.



His enemies are strong, and they have hated him since before he was born. The blood in his veins makes it so. His great ancestor defeated them in ages past, and he seeks to discover his hidden heritage. But they plot to prevent him learning his destiny.



But defeating Gil is not enough. The sorceress Ginsar stretches forth her power. Prophecy forebodes that she will summon the Four Horsemen - creatures of the pit. With them, she could lead vast hordes on a rampaging conquest of other kingdoms.



Gil must stop her. Not just for his people, nor other realms. But because summoning dark magic comes at a terrible price. One that could destroy the world...
