The books

The people of the Four Lands have become distrustful of magic after the failure of the Third Druid Council. However, a druid uncovers information that could lead to the rediscovery of the lost Elfstones, which Ard Rhys of Paranor Khyber Elessedil now seeks.

Aphenglow and her sister Arlingfant seek a way to reseal the Forbidding, whilst Khyber and Redden are still stuck within at the mercy of the Straken lord. Mean while Railing searches for a way to save his brother.

Set a 100 years after Straken, it chronicles the attempts of two sisters, Arling & Aphen Elessedil to prevent a breach in the Forbidding.
