The Tales of Alterra – The World That Is
A monster roams the last refuge of the Elves--a creature who has sworn to destroy them one by one until none remain. One headstrong heroine is determined to stand between her people and extinction--Wood-elf Gaelen Taldin. When powerful dark magic creates a terrible and irrevocable spiritual link between them, the result is a journey of terrifying transformation. Elfhunter tells a story of savage combat between predator and prey--a deadly dance wherein the hunter becomes the hunted. Who will prevail?
A fantasy setting rich in imagery and very human conflict, the world of ELFHUNTER pits friendship, loyalty, and love against hatred, prejudice, and despair. In a monster-hunt of epic proportions, it sets one small but determined Wood-elf against a complex and fascinating villain to yield a timeless tale that has captivated young readers and parents alike. Join the Company of Elves, dwarves, mortal men, and delightfully intelligent horses. Come to Alterra – the "World That Is".
