Mantle: The Return of the Sha - Mantle Gary Bregar

Publisher Marketing: In the land of Mantle lie four kingdoms. Three of these kingdoms prosper in peace as friends and allies, while the fourth was forgotten long ago. Enveloped in darkness in the forgotten Kingdom of Skite, the children of Menagraff begin to take shape--slowly drawing the dust of evil from the womb of Mount Narciss. Their birth has been accelerated by the return of the second prince, and they require only the return of the third to complete their metamorphosis from soil to beast. Once complete, it will be their father and king, Menagraff, who will hand them their ability to awaken. They will then pull themselves from the mountain to battle against the innocence and good virtue of the three allied kingdoms--returning balance between good and evil to the land of Mantle. Their fight against the peaceful kingdoms will not be so easily won, however. While most everyone in the Kingdom of Forris has magical abilities of some kind, eleven-year-old Lizabet Abbot was seemingly born without any magical gifts of her own. But Lizabet does have a gift, and when Menagraff rises against the friendly kingdoms of Mantle, her abilities prove to be far more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
