A land at war, a failing king, a light in the forest. Ea Uaré is on the brink of civil war, but change comes in the form of an elf with the face of an Alpine and the heart of Silvan. 'Half-breed', 'ill-bred,' a born warrior with a destiny he could never have foreseen. For Tolkien lovers, Path of a Novice follows Fel'annár, Green Sun, as he steps into the world with nothing in his pocket but a dream - an obsession; to become a Silvan captain in an army ruled by Alpines. Motherless, fatherless, he grows in a shroud of mystery. His unanswered questions lead to a flawed young adult who tells himself he does not care. But life as a novice will teach him far more than warfare; self-discovery, understanding and a surprising twist will utterly change his world, and perhaps, the course of history. From child to novice warrior and beyond, Fel'annár is, The Silvan.
