Now Calaius is at peace...but that doesn't mean their nation is safe.Men need their help.The Wytch Lords have rallied men's magic has grown more powerful and their politics have become altogether more dangerous. Especially now: one of the mages has created a spell called Dawnthief which has the potential to destroy all living things on the planet. All four magical colleges are fighting to seize it and in the background the Wytch Lords have schemes of their own. Schemes which involve crushing the elven nation for good. Whoever seizes the spell it places the elves in tremendous danger. But can Auum and Takaar overcome their differences and work together to save Calaius? And even if they can is it not already too late
