Synopsis
Prince Julian, the true heir to the throne of Westria, is searching for the four Jewels of Power that were lost when a magical battle killed his father. He has already found three. The fourth, the Jewel of Fire, lies in a volcano, and reaching it means a dangerous journey to Mount Lassen. Julian also has to confront the sorcerer Caolin, who has been working against him since his return, and the quest will end in a final contest of magic that will decide who holds the Jewels and whether Julian can take his place as king.
