Vincent Whitehorse has failed. Betrayed by a trusted friend, the only magical relic that can save Anyullyn from destruction has been stolen from him and delivered to his enemies. The world's last hope of salvation now depends upon the mysterious northern elves, the Anyull Duvalae, who neither Vincent nor his friends trust. For over nine hundred years, since the previous cataclysm, the elves have lived in isolation, their motives known only to themselves. While Vincent puzzles out Anyull Duvalae intentions, the demon, Geggermane, weaves his own plans to make certain the moon, Itarris, falls to earth. If the realm is destroyed a second time, no one will be able to resist Geggermane, and the whole world will fall under his dominion.
