Convergence — Sharon Green

In a world of magical adepts, every quarter-century the five greatest talents must be brought together. For only this powerful union of strangers can prevent the prophesied return of the Evil Ones who once enslaved the land.

Lorand is of Earth, a simple farmer called to the city. Tamrissa is Fire, sacrificing her home to escape an undesired marriage. Clarion is Air, an aristocrat flying free for the very first time. Spirit is the talent of Jovvi, the beautiful, sensuous, and knowing ex-courtesan. And Valiant is Water, a sailor who aches to return to the sea.

As one, they must stand against the odious treachery of past masters--and confront a fear some depravity that hungers for their world. As one they must triumph ... or as one they die.
