The Archer From Kipleth - The Wealdland Stories, #2

In the exciting sequel to The Last Elf of Lanis, The Archer From Kipleth picks up a year after the Battle of the Eastern Meadowland. The Archer and the elf, with a small army of fanatical followers, tries to oust Deifol Hroth, the Dark Lord of All Evil Magic from the deserted elvish capital, Lanis Rhyl Landemiriam, where he possesses a magic device unlike any seen before, the Lhalíi, a strange crystal filled with immense power and knowledge.
In the north, Ravensdred, the garond general is holed up in an ancient stone fortress from another age, thawed from the Great Ice Fields of Eann. Arnwylf and a small army keep Ravensdred from delivering the Mattear Gram, the Sun Sword, to his master, the Dark Lord. In New Rogar Li, where politics are ever in play amongst the wealdkin, Wynnfrith receives a farsight vision compelling her to dangerously venture to the Far Grasslands, into the very center of the garond army to retrieve the Ar, the Heart of the Earth, a stone filled with frightening elemental force, and quite possibly the key to controlling all the other objects of magic.
