In fact, Rali was not dead, but left entombed in ice to dream for eternity--until a goddess needed her for one last quest . . . Novari, a beautiful succubus intent on achieving ultimate power, had swept the world by storm.  All the Anteros had been assassinated--save one : a golden, magical child named Emilie.  Novari had succeeded in taking Orissa.  Now she had only to sieze little Emilie, as well.
