Tale of Alterra, the World That Is
Elfhunter: A Tale Of Alterra, The World That Is (2005)
Elfhunter is the first of the tales of Alterra, the
World that Is. It concerns the quest of an unlikely pair of heroines, Gaelen
and Nelwyn, who are Wood-elves of the Greatwood Forest. They are
hunter-scouts in the realm of King Ri-Aruin, and they have sworn to protect
their woodland home, but they are drawn into a quest to defend all the Elves
of Alterra as they seek to destroy the ‘Elfhunter’, a monstrous entity
intent on exterminating the Elves until none remain. Along the way, Gaelen
and Nelwyn are joined by other interesting characters as they make their way
through the realms of Alterra in pursuit of the Elfhunter, whose true name
is ‘Gorgon’. What headstrong Gaelen and her gentle cousin do not know is
that Gorgon is in league with the Dark Power, and that the forces of Evil
have forged an entanglement between Gorgon and Gaelen herself. Now she and
all she loves are in jeopardy, and only an inspired plan put forth by
Orogond, a mortal man, can save her.
Fire-heart (2006)
The Elfhunter has been laid low, but he is not yet vanquished.
Now there is a new challenge to be faced; Orogond has sworn on the grave of
his father that he will find his wayward brother, Hallagond, and return him
to the way of the Light. But Hallagond has been driven forth by shame, and
believes that he is unworthy of redemption. The Company is now set upon a
path that will take them into unfamiliar, distant lands filled with strange
and intriguing people. Not only will they encounter wonders unknown to any
in the northern lands, but they must now face a new, incredibly savage
enemy. And all the while, Gaelen of the Greatwood is summoning Gorgon
Elfhunter to follow after her, for she would lead him into lands where Elves
do not venture. Should he find her, even the strength and will of the
Fire-heart might not be enough.
A third volume, presently in progress, is planned for a late
summer 2007 release.
