Fifty years from now, our world looks very different. Governments have fallen. Thousands live in fortified strongholds; others roam the landscape as either predator or prey. Standing against the forces that have tipped the balance from good to evil are a very few heroes, men and women imbued with powerful magic and sworn to a high destiny.
Logan Tom is one of those heroes. He's on a desperate quest to deliver the street kids he rescued in Seattle to safety. So too is Angel Perez, who is leading a second group in the Oregon wilderness where she encounters the long-hidden Elves of Cintra.
Hawk — just learning his magic — has an encounter with the mystical King of the Silver River, who promises safety for both humans and elves — if only they can reach him.
