Rise of Deception

For two thousand years the races inhabiting Rirospen have enjoyed peace and prosperity following the great battle at Daedhel. Malignant forces have discovered their way back, vowing to accomplish what they had failed to do before. Death and destruction follow in their wake, spreading terror in the midst of the races.
Lainil is a young elvin maiden, a prodigy among the forest people for her affinity with the four magical powers. Some fear her, others wait to see her destiny unfold, and one man will come to desire her.
Teron is a Thand Warden, sworn to protect the lands. Forbidden to take a mate, he is determined to resist any temptation...be it flesh or power.
The fate of Rirospen is depending on Lainil's latent, untrained powers to awaken. Evil waits for no one. Will she embrace her calling to magic in time to thwart the spreading darkness? Does she have the inner strength to defy the codes of the Thand Wardens and follow her heart?
