Born in the remote fields of Sudland, raised in poverty-and with powers coveted by entire kingdoms. Anshalyn Nescoa grows up in hiding because her parents fear her gift will attract the dark warriors of Norkamp. But when a stranger appears and reveals that she is more than a girl-a magical elf who could end the war between Norkamp, ¿¿Sudland, Offenier, and Mauies-Anshalyn sets out on a journey. By her side: the small dragon Skilas and Askandar, a loyal friend she finds along the way. Her goal is peace. Her path leads her straight into the flames of war. Years later, Queen Anshalyn lives hidden away in Rosenheim-far from the splendor of the throne, the battles left behind. Until Ydecto, a mysterious stranger, overthrows the village and an ancient nightmare awakens: Demons, once defeated, step back into the light-more gruesome and powerful than ever before. Fleeing through enchanted forests and crumbling kingdoms, Anshalyn and Askandar must encounter gods, endure trials, and recover a fateful artifact: the head of Medusa-the key to salvation or destruction. An epic two-volume adventure brimming with magic, betrayal, powerful emotions, and merciless challenges. For those who yearn for vast worlds, courageous heroines, and an adventure that will linger long after the last page is turned.
