Of the Elvin Realms, the Moon rises highest while the Sands diminish through infighting. The Sun remains undying, burning bright but the Stars dream of outshining all.
As the Fairleaf brothers depart the Realm, both of them fear for the other, for upon the sands, enemies gather as they do across the sea, and back home, the Dead Gods stir, unrest grows in the lands, and far away, Darkness prepares His return.
Eldrian Fairleaf - youngest of the Fairleafs, fierce, loyal, brave... and bitter, abandons all in a rash move to rescue an elvess of soft grace and beauty, an elves prophesised to be the love of his life.
Eldrian crosses the country with murderous intent upon the one who took Alerian Lightchild from her home, from him...
Trone Fairleaf - the eldest son of his father, astute and powerful, leads a diplomatic mission across the seas to the Human Lands, where he faces treachery in his ranks, a hostile Daughter of Alepion who despises his family, and the prospect of never returning home should the mission fail and the Humans betray the alliance.
Alerian Lightchild - a quiet, peaceful, and shy elvess of no particular importance heads off to the enemy lands in a desperate attempt to heal the apparently contaminated Proloss River but is taken prisoner instead by a Sand Elf, the enemy of her people.
While she tries to escape, this Sand Elf begins displaying possessive tendencies towards her, until eventually, he decides he can't hold back any longer - he wants her, and he won't let anyone stop him from having her.
Alanis Malgan Wingflow - heir to the throne, narcissistic, a skilled warrior, has unleashed the Urathins from Moon Leaf, dark sorcerers who it's believed can help win the war and put Alanis's family back in power.
Except he discovers Moon Elves in his lands and an elvess who plagues his mind and his heart daily - Alerian! Alanis wants her, and will stop at nothing in order to have her!
Ramian Starwar - Mindfinder, able to control the minds of animals, has no need for friends, but instead, finds joy and solace in applying himself to study and to achieving the tasks his secret masters have for him - the only problem is, his briefs are being intercepted, and worst of all, Ramian believes they are being intercepted and deciphered by the head of the Order of Nallara, Absiden Singwaters, the Arch Mindfinder.
