ENTER THE WORLD OF PENTHARA ... A world where the human and elven races of the realm are born into specific elemental descendancies, and each of the five seasons correlate to one of the five elements themselves. Kingfall, Book One centralizes around the human kingdom of Barredom and the country to the north, Aggedon, long ago overturned by the qindrid clans - those that were once human heretics, now transcended into grey-skinned, element-enhanced versions of their former selves. When the entire border army of Aggedon vanishes overnight, the obsessive General of Barredom orders the Westwalker, the infamous hunter of hunters, to investigate the disappearance. But the actions of men may test the resolve of the outsider who was long ago forced under the cursed transformation of being qindrid himself. In the capital of Barredom, the new cycle of Kingfall proves worthy of its name when the savage elvan warlord of the Glace Isles is slain during an ambush. His formerly indomitable war party is condemned to the Frostdale Deeps, the domain of the Royal Inquisitor Honorah Bayn. Her task is to extract information from the enigmatic prisoners, but her prejudice desire for revenge, and her lust for suffering is set to thwart the aspirations of her unwitting son and daughter. Meanwhile, the enthralling leader of the northern qindrid has surrendered herself into the custody of the elusive king of Barredom. It is up to the renounced prince of Barredom, Ondrew Roth, and his motley group of spurned knights to escort her on a clandestine mission beneath enemy territory, through the underground cavernscape of an elvan race thought defeated long ago.
