Title: Fortress Draconis - Michael A. Stackpole - book
Summary :
A young thief destined to save the world... or bring it down.
After stealing a strange object from the elves, young Will is drawn into the clutches of an incredible prophecy... He represents the last chance to fight the tyranny of Chytrine, the terrible Queen of the North. Having learned of his existence, the sovereign sends the Black Lancers after him. Will must flee for his life, but he is not alone. Others rise up against Chytrine.
They all share the same goal: to prevent the queen from reconstituting the Dragon Crown, a powerful artifact that, if it fell into her hands, would guarantee her eternal reign... and the end of the world.
