Book Description
An
epic fantasy of war and adventure! Set in the world the Elves call
Iělŗenväd, where peace has been upheld between the Elves, Dwarves, and
men for a century, the human country of Gemdals is conquered by those
that possess the Mark of Evil. Receiving this news from two young boys
who escaped the battle, the leader of the Elves must decide, per their
request, to take the long journey to the West and recapture the lands of
men.
As far as anyone knows, the two young refugees are the only
remnants of the
human
race in the world. As they decide to comply with the boy's request and
seek out the allied races to join with their cause, the characters find
that the war is not only something external, but is within their own
selves. They are not out to fight another race entirely, but they fight
the Possessors - Elves and Dwarves and men who have chosen to abandon
their old ways and join a cause that opposes the survival of their
former kindred.
It takes great courage to survive the growing night,
and morality has no place in the grand shift of the world. "
A Humble
Heart" is a term applied to Delenas Farlong, the leader of the Elves,
who throughout the tale faces tremendous adversity and who shows great
valor and humility as he leads his people on their dangerous journey.
From the Back Cover
Sightings of Northerners...
An attack on the Elven tournament...
The appearance of a band of Dwarves and two human boys who possess three magic stones...
Could it mean war?
For
a hundred years there was peace in Elveran. Now the Elves learn that
the kingdom of men has been invaded. The two young refugees, Henty and
Clese, ask that the Elves and Dwarves go to recapture their homeland,
and so the choice is laid before Delenas, leader of Elveran. But it is
not an easy decision, for it would mean marching an army across half the
world, facing unspeakable dangers, and joining forces with people who
would not easily agree to the venture.
Can the boys succeed in
their mission? Will the Elves and Dwarves agree to their request? Will
they all be strong enough to resist not only the enemy but their own
inner conflicts, both of which seek to destroy them?
"Whether we go to our deaths, or to end all darkness, now is the time of testing."
