"Aside from coffee, reading was her only indulgence" - Nicholas Sparks

Six years ago, Siri made a death-bed vow to her mother. Now she is betrothed to the neighboring village's chief, an action that will make it impossible to keep her promise. Risking her life to escape the arranged marriage, she unwittingly triggers an ancient elven curse. Death and destruction will begin with the rise of the next full moon. The only recourse is restoring an ancient talisman to the elves. But pleas to return it go unanswered. Siri's journey plunges her into a land of mystical creatures, some terrifying, some fascinating. As she begins to lose her heart to one very handsome Master Archer, his valley spirals toward irreversible ruin. Siri wonders if she holds the key and how one lowly human could ever make a difference in a strange land of myth and magic.
