He’d rather pick up a book than wield a sword. But fate needs a new hero…
Young elf prince Drynn has always lived in the shadow of his athletic and popular elder brother. But when the bookish boy’s mother dies from a mystery illness and he receives the Queen’s Opal, he’s plagued by visions of the past and a growing power. And with the gem supposedly cursing those who possess it, he must enter the human realm to hunt down the cure… or become the next to die.
Outside the forest, Drynn finds much has changed with the world now ruled by greedy wizards coveting more magic. And to the meek elf’s horror, the only way to end his curse is to use his swelling abilities to restore peace before everyone is doomed..
Can Drynn rise above his shy nature and fight to save his people from extinction?
