They are the enemies of the dwarves and control the darkest magics, but even then power of the AElfar has its limits. To save their own people, they must enter into an unwinnable war. Sinthoras and Caphalor, two very different AElfar, watch as their plans come to fruition: the hidden land-the home of the dwarves-has fallen to their army of trolls, barbarians and AElfar, and now the lands of the hated elves are within their grasp. But the alliance is beginning to crumble as greed triumphs over obedience. And Sinthoras and Caphalor face another threat: an enemy from the empire of the AElfar, thought to be defeated, has resurfaced, and while their best warriors fight in the hidden land, the AElfar homeland lies almost defenseless.
