Publisher's blurb: I will light a beacon bright enough to reach the very edge of our world. Every creature will see our greatest hope—the return of the elves. Tarrini, a small border town between Valera and Triolo, has been a reluctant addition to the Valeran territories. A resentment toward the Valeran rulership simmers, and a fully equipped military garrison is stationed there indefinitely. Several ruined elven towers persist in the hills around the town, and it is there, in one such tower, that the Returners lurk and plot.
