Beschreibung

1st pr. SIGNED by AUTHOR on the title page. Book is square, solid, and unread. In protective archival bag. You?d dive the Well of Shiuan, challenge the Fires of Azeroth, pass through the Gate of Ivrel, into Exile -- nuts, you?d even climb the Tree of Swords and Jewels with one hand behind your back, just to lay hands on this treasured tome! NOTE: VERY light evidence of edgewear and age-toning. Little chip and a bump to the upper righthand corner of the spine.

Inhaltsangabe

The classic fantasy duology, combining The Dreamstone and The Tree of Swords and Jewels in an omnibus for the first time

It was that transitional time of the world, when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic there yet remained one last untouched place—the small forest of Ealdwood—which kept the magic intact, and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

But fear of the world of Faery ran deep in the hearts of men, and when Ciaran Cuilean, Lord of Caer Wiell, a man with Elvish blood in his veins, found himself the object of increasing distrust and suspicion from his men, his king, and even his own family, he knew he must once again put his humanity aside and return to Ealdwood.

For shadows of a newly awakened evil swarmed across both lands, and unless Ciaran reclaimed his haunted weapons from the Tree of Swords and joined Arafel, he would see this evil overtake not only the warm hearthstones of the mortal keeps, but the silvery heart of Ealdwood itself....
