War with the humans was inevitable. It was as certain as if the cadence of a hundred thousand human feet already trampled the forest's undergrowth, axe-felled and torch-burned trees marking their passage. And still the elves of Aer'ferala remained divided; the pacifist ice elves unwilling to leave their hidden villages in the frozen north, the exiled moon elves showing no interest in burying their long-festering grudge against their sun elf cousins. Only the wild elves stand against the rising tide of humanity, and when their thin wall of resistance collapses, the rest will be swept away one by one. Into this fractured political landscape is born a curiously blue-eyed moon elf girl named Silvantana, whose death is prophesized by her own mother to be the catalyst for reunification. Now nearing her Coming of Age day, the sheltered academic finds herself the focus of converging forces, some seeking her preservation, but many more seeking her destruction. As her life explodes around her, Silvantana learns that there yet remains hope for her people along a path long thought lost. Fleeing from assassination, driven to the lands of peoples that would slay her on sight, relentlessly pursued by her own kin, Silvantana must survive long enough to rise from prisoner to commander, gather allies from among enemies and save her people from a war they cannot win. ...and die trying.
