How many terrible things can a man do in pursuit of good before he falls into a black hole of the soul from which there is no escape?

Valashu Elahad rescued the Lightstone from the dark hell of Morjin's underground city of Agarttha only to see his triumph overturned. Once more, the Red Dragon has the sacred golden cup in his hands. He will use it to gain power over all Ea and to free the dark god Angra Mainyu imprisoned on the world of Damoom for a million years. If that happens, the entire universe of Eluru will fall into corruption and irreversible decay.

Through the power of the Black Jade - the greatest black gelstei ever forged - Val will seek to understand the darkness inside himself so that he can use evil to fight evil. At the same time, he must sharpen the good inside himself into a bright silver sword that will cut through illusion and point the way to the Maitreya: the one person for whom the Lightstone was meant. Somewhere on Ea, this Lightbringer has been born, and Val must find him.

Black Jade is the fourth book of the internationally acclaimed Ea Cycle that began with The Lightstone and Lord Of Lies. If you enjoy fast-paced adventure, a startling new cosmology, and an intricately-made world as rich as Tolkien's and with all the magic of an Arthurian romance, you'll love this book.
