Book excerpt: The epic fantasy adventure series continues as great magics change the Fortunate Lands, elves wage war, and one woman tries to unify the Hundred Houses. From the authors of the New York Times bestsellers When Darkness Falls and The Phoenix Transformed, and USA Today bestseller To Light a Candle . . . They thought the war was over. They were wrong. Great magics are changing the world of the Fortunate Lands forever. Elves wage war against friends and family as one woman seeks to unify the Hundred Houses under her banner. Runacarendalur Caerthalien has been a master of battle for hundreds of years, but he found himself on the wrong side—the losing side—in the last war. Betrayed by his brother, trapped in a prophecy he does not understand, Runacar flees the battlefield. Yet Runacar is no coward. In a twist he could never have imagined, the Elven War-Prince finds himself leading a new army into battle—a force of centaurs, merfolk, gryphons, minotaurs, and talking bears who can perform magic. For centuries they have been trying to reclaim their lands from Elven invaders. With Runacar at the helm, they just might manage it . . .
