Description

Half-elf Arilyn Moonblade must come to terms with the truth of her magical sword—and the destiny that awaits her

Half-elven warrior Arilyn Moonblade's sword has long held fascination for entities throughout the realms. For Arilyn herself, this fascination is tinged with a deep fear of the elfshadow, the essence of her sword's magic. When she learns the terrible truth behind her inherited moonblade, she vows to find a way to escape her fate.
What begins as a means to an end becomes a show more deeply personal commitment as Arilyn seeks wisdom from the elves of Evermeet and becomes entangled in the battles of a band of forest elves. Determined to succeed in her quest—both to win the freedom of the forest elves and to meet her own true destiny—Arilyn will risk all she holds dear. Fantasy. Fiction. show less

I really enjoyed jumping back into The Forgotten Realms, Arilyn is one of my favorite characters, and I wish Danilo had more scenes in this book but the ending was just perfect.
Arilyn Hojaluna siempre tuvo miedo de la sombra élfica, la esencia de su espada mágica. Cuando descubre la terrible verdad que encierra la hoja de la luna que ha recibido en herencia, se promete de encontrar la manera de escapar a su terrible destino. Pero lo que comienza siendo el medio para conseguir un objetivo se convierte pronto en un profundo compromiso personal. Resuelta a salir airosa de su aventura, Arilyn arriesgará todo lo que tiene... e incluso más.
Ein neuer Auftrag für Arilyn Moonblade.
Im dritten Band um die halb-elfische Agentin steht Arilyn gleich vor mehreren Problemen. Wer bedroht die Waldelfen von Tethyr und wie kann Sie ihrem Schicksal entfliehen.
Das Buch selbst ist gut geschrieben, die Personen sind glaubwürdig und die Spannung hält einen am lesen.
Gute Unterhaltung!
