The First Named — Jonathan Wylie

An evil magic has gripped the kingdom of Ark. A powerful warlord and a violet-eyed enchantress, named Amarino have usurped the rightful rule of king Ather and enslaved the people to an ancient power.

Led to safety deep in the woods beyond the c ital, the three young princes of Ark plot their vengeance in the hideaway of the court wizard. Here, in an ancient tome of magic they discover a prophecy that foretells how only one of them will be strong enough to avenge their father's death and regain the throne of Ark.

Now, a young magician's apprentice, his telepathic cat and a 200-year-old wizard set out on an impossible quest--to lead the exiles to victory against an all-powerful enemy and lift the dark enchantment from the land.
