The Shade Land

Publisher's blurb: The Shade Land lies under a cover of impenetrable clouds where dwells the Dark Goddess, mother of the ruling race of dark elves known as Sha'zir. Here creatures of darkness lurk in the shadows, from poisonous dragonkind to huge insects. And here mankind has retreated to the highlands, where it breeds giant featherless birds as mounts, in a fight for its very existence.
