Chapter 15 - The Frozen Spire of Kaelen

Inside the spire, the air was so cold it froze the breath in their lungs. Floating above an icy altar sat the Eye of Truth—a radiant, tear-shaped diamond pulsing with blinding white light.
"We found it," Benjamin breathed, his sword drawn as he scanned the icy hall for traps.
"It's too easy," Evelyn cautioned, stepping carefully onto the frost-covered dais.
As soon as her fingers brushed the surface of the Eye of Truth, a wave of dark psychic energy slammed into her mind. The ice around them shattered, and standing atop the high gallery was none other than Queen Isabelle—her own mother—surrounded by a cadre of dark sorcerers.
