Westria #5
Der Meerstern
Julian, der verschollene Sohn von Königin Faris und König Jehan, ist nach Westria zurückgekehrt. Um sein Geburtsrecht zu beweisen, muss er die vier sagenumwurbenen Juwelen finden, die in dem großen Kataklysmus verschwanden, in dem seine Eltern untergingen. Eine lange Odyssee durch das Reich beginnt. Mit dem Erdstein, dem ersten Juwel, vermag Julian zwar das Element der Erde zu beherrschen, doch nur, wenn er auch den Meerstern besitzt, kann er die Mächte der See bezwingen. Der Prinz weiß, dass auch der Verräter Caolin seine Schergen nach dem magischen Stein ausgesandt hat. Und sollte der dunkle Zauberer den Meerstern an sich reißen, könnte er Julian vernichten und ganz Westria mit einer gigantischen Flut verwüsten.

A pretty quick read—the story moved right along (no endless journeys), and the plot was focused on Rana and Julian, for the most part. It has been fascinating to see “Mother Nature” and all her guardians personified.
