Seven years have passed since Queen Sylvia liberated Aurba from the sorcerer lords whose war for world domination left the continent in ruins. Since then, the four deposed tyrants, Clement, Darien, Lillian and Xanaphia have suffered in lonely exile. They return for revenge only to discover someone has beaten them to her. Darlyth, lord of the demons, has broken free of his millennia long imprisonment and seeks to steal the source of Sylvia’s legendary powers, an enchanted tiara only she can control. As Queen Sylvia suffers horrific tortures, cruel betrayals, and the cunning schemes of the demon lord’s disloyal minions, the four mortal enemies must battle harsh weather, inner doubts, vicious monsters and the greatest evil to ever walk the land. All in a quest to save the life of someone they’d rather kill and prevent the destruction of a world they almost destroyed.

A Memoir of Robert Blincoe

Robert Blincoe (c. 1792-1860) became famous during the 1830s for his popular "autobiography" detailing the horrific account of his childhood spent as a labourer in English cotton mills. This work, however, is not technically an autobiography as his story was told to journalist John Brown, who wrote the manuscript but died before publishing it. The manuscript was given to a friend who published the resulting book, A Memoir of Robert Blincoe, in five episodes in the magazine The Lion in 1832. Historian John Waller has asserted that Charles Dickens based his character Oliver Twist on Blincoe, but no firm documentary or anecdotal evidence exists that this is true. Still, the publication of Blincoe's "memoir" had an impact on bringing the horrors of child labour to a wider audience, which in turn led to legislation to limit working hours and improve working conditions for child labourers.
