This is the first book in the Elven Grove Trilogy where it all begins. This adventure about Then'diel's sons spans over seven hundred and eighteen years. Roe'vaash, who is half-human, and young, golden haired Eiij'lam seem like exact opposites. The world has been changing rapidly since the Great War. A dark cult surfaces and its only purpose is to resurrect an evil that has lay dormant for over one hundred years. This is an epic story in a land full of danger, goblins, wizards and dragons grounded in the tradition of a dark chivalrous age. This is the larger premium print volume. Perfect for elegant gift giving. If you like all things, Lion, Witch and Wardrobe, Golden Compass and Lord of the Rings you might enjoy this book.
