Jewel of Apthgar — Sherrill Quinn

The Jewel of Apthgar, a six-inch-long amethyst said to come from the great god Apthgar's mighty sword, was lost in antiquity but has recently been found. Rumored to give mystical blessings to noble marriages, it is the only symbol that might reunite two feuding kingdoms.Rahziya Sanura, Princess of Gar, is sent to retrieve it. So is Callum Heyfeydd, Prince of Apth. Once they join forces, Callum must convince Rahziya to join with him in using the Jewel -- their only chance to be together without their fathers' blessings. But this is the first time Rahziya has a chance to win her father's approval. Can she give that up? But if she doesn't, can she give up Callum?
