The Elvenbane - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The elvenlords are cruel, powerful and possessed of magic, but their cities and lives are founded upon the pain and humiliation of their human and halfblood slaves, undisturbed for centuries since the defeat of a wizards' rebellion. But now Lord Dyran, the elvenlord, will face an unexpected threat.

ELVENBANE:
THE PROPHECY IS ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED

There will come a child. One born of human mother but fathered by the demons, possessed of magic more powerful than the elven lords! The child shall be hunted before its birth, yet shall escape the hunt and will rise up against the masters and cast them into the lowest hell...

The world is run by the elvenlords. Powerful, proud and secure in their dominion they keep legions of human slaves for work and take their pleasure in elven or human concubines. The breeding of halfbreeds is strictly forbidden. Then Serina Daeth – the favoured human concubine of elven overlord Dryan – finds herself pregnant.

Forced to flee into the desert, Serina dreams – as she dies – of a midwife delivering her baby, Shana; the midwife is in fact the shapechanging dragon-shaman Alara.

But Shana is no ordinary child: raised by the dragons, she is destined to become the Elvenbane.

"A damned fine tale, a splendid blend of the talents of two excellent storytellers"
