Years ago, the evil Shadowlords ruled the earth. Now, the dark powers stir once more When two young girls named Laura and Lucy are torn from their hometown, they are plunged into a quest with an unknown warrior, in search of a powerful magical item the Iron Flames. At the same time, the last elf rides South, pursued by an insatiable demon and driven to seek and free her brethren. As the dark power of the Wychery builds, nothing is certain any more. Friends and enemies alike betray one another, and no-one can know who to trust. It falls to the valiant people of Dornesse to stop the Wychery before the Shadowlords are freed and the world is plunged into chaos.
