The second in Barclay's trilogy about the epic Elven war against
mankind Calaius is occupied by an implacable, relentless enemy. The
great elven cities are little more than prison camps. Elven slaves
are forced to destroy their beloved rainforest to harvest timber
for their masters. The enemy has no mercy, no honor, and little
skill in battle. The enemy is Man. Those few elves who remain free
are fragmented, in squabbling factions, and they must unite before
they can take a stand against Man. Many believe that the battle is
already lost, but Auum is not one of them. He knows Men's numbers
are great but their tactics are weak; he knows Men think the Elves
are already beaten; he is convinced that his people must fight now,
or see their race destroyed. Takaar disagrees. He believes Elven
salvation lies in unlocking their magic, not in fighting pitched
battles against Man. He is determined to save his people too, but
his tactics are entirely different--and if some Elves must die now
to ensure Calaius will be free of Man in the future, it's a
sacrifice he is willing to make. The Elves must choose their sides.
Whatever they decide, victory will win their freedom, and failure
will mean extermination.
