The Jewels Of Earda

The Brotherhood of Mages -- The Black Jewel has been destroyed and several of the Jewels of Earda need Holders.  In their hidden refuge, the Brotherhood of Mages plot to destroy the newly-found peace.  When Jindera's brother is kidnapped by the Mages, she vows to rescue him.  She joins with Corin, a peddler and former thief who has his own issues with the Brotherhood.  His way of dealing with them is avoidance.  When Jindera is injured, Corin knows he must help her.  They encounter the Holders of the Orange and Green Jewel.  Jindera bonds with the Red and this small group seeks the Brotherhood, hoping if the refuge is destroyed, evil will be defeated and peace restored to Earda.  Can they rescue Jindera's brother before the confrontation?
