But falling in love with a human made her a rebel. Now Petra is not only standing against the powerful Luxyndell High Council but also her own mother Olezana Viarellna. Crafted with imagination and skill, the elf kingdom of Luxyndell is a multilayered, fascinating world. Hacker does an excellent job of propelling Petra\u2019s quest along while at the same time venturing into the backstory of Olezana and other Mithryndors\u2019s daring escapade from Reiol Tir and the High Council\u2019s establishment. Hardcore fantasy buffs will find this intricate web of action and intrigue highly engrossing.
