Publisher's Synopsis
Faedrya, the ancestral Faerie realm of Velyxi, Lorewyn's mother, and her kin who once made Cordysia their home, Lys'elth and Onarys. A beautiful and magical world, largely untouched by mortal fate. But the Celestial Oracle, whose counsel has long guided Faedrya through ages of peace, is now passing beyond time and space and offers its final words of direction for the ancient realm and its inhabitants. A new Arbiter is chosen, and the Oracle has dictated that the Marshall of the North, Nyvendra, is to fill the role. The fallout is nothing like the Faerie folk have ever seen, for no one from her region has ever led the realm, and there is fierce opposition from those who wish to see it remain that way, and strife engulfs Faedrya, even to the point of an assassination attempt on Nyvendra. Lorewyn, Rhianyn, and Blythe arrive only to find a world not in keeping with Lorewyn's mother's legacy, but rather a world at risk of being torn apart.The New Adventures of Lorewyn and Company continue with Book 2, The Brighter Snow Falls in the Dark!
