Book 8
Author Jan Marie Reynoldson
the destiny of the seventh hand
Stefan is able to refuse the crown of the Black King of Gorroc, but Malega takes her revenge for his betrayal, striking him to the heart. Friends and family help him recover and give him the courage to finally embrace his destiny and become the Seventh Hand.
Black Priests lead an army of demons 
against humanity, but the Seventh Hand is there to meet them with the Four and an army of elves who have answered his call. Whether he wins or loses, though, Stefan knows that in order to fulfill his destiny and annihilate her evil presence forever, he must go to the Void and face Malega there in her realm.
“He has returned and has survived against all hope against his enemy; but from now on, he shall not be alone in this battle.”
