Quite enjoyed it, I read the series years ago and really want to revisit it now.

The world of men fell to apocalypse and from the ashes rose other races, man is still around but they're not the top of the food chain any more. Wil Ormsford has just lost his mother and he goes to find a life but instead finds someone who robs him, a druid who insists that he has a mission to save the world and an elf princess who seems to like him. Wil is a half-elf and too elvish for humans and too human for show more elves. The magic in the stones he gets hurts him and will do him damage but it might be the only thing between humanity and the demons.

Amberle is the first elf female to be chosen, the tree is giving her images of destruction and intimating that no-one else can do this. She fears what this will entail but the quest will take her and Wil to strange places and involve the raider Eretria and start some questions about her past.

Interesting reflection of the stories, makes me want to read them. show less

Strictly for teens. The elves are night-clubbing rich kids with pointy ears. But many of them are quite pretty.
