Wit'ch Star — James Clemens

Some might call him a fool, but Harlequin Quail claims to be a spy. And he comes fresh from the foul fortress of Blackhall itself, where the Dark Lord dwells. There he uncovered things that spell certain doom--for a final Weirgate remains, the most potent one of all. And with it, in just one moon's time, the Dark Lord will avenge his earlier defeat and usher in a reign of evil without end. Only Elena, with the awesome magicks of the Blood Diary, has the power to stop him. Hunted by the Dark Lord's minions and threatened by clandestine betrayals, Elena and her brave companions reunite in a desperate quest to find and destroy the last Weirgate. Along the way, the strongest bonds of magic and love will be tested to the breaking point . . . and beyond.
