The Moon Ring

A beautiful young Elf lies and cheats her way into the heart of the Elven crown prince of Ashlenair, tricking him into marrying her and giving her his reverential family heirloom, the Moon Ring. Her pride, however, forces her to boast, and the ring is eventually stolen. She manipulates her husband into sending a war party after it, in a bid to retrieve her precious prize. The war party fails: the Moon Ring is lost, but a cross species war that threatens to destroy the planet and everyone on it is the result.

Laoch, a young Elf from a Guards village just within the boundaries of Ashlenair, has grown up hearing of the fabled Moon Ring and how the wicked Dwarves stole it and started a war over six thousand ago. Laoch knew the story as well as anyone, he just didn't care.

Ever since his best friend was killed by a group of Dwarven Scouts, his unwavering faith in the war had finally faltered. He just wanted the war to be over. His friend, a scandalously independent female, tells him a story of a Woodland Faery, who was supposedly the last person known to have seen the Moon Ring. The story plants the seed for a marvellous plan to trek across Tirnanog, to the forest the Woodland Faeries had made their home, and track down the Moon Ring.

There is one very big problem though, in these days of fear and suspicion, nothing comes for free - everything has a price. And what makes Laoch’s situation even worse? Everywhere you went you had to be careful of an attack, as, what had started as a fight between Elves and Dwarves had escalated, until everyone but the most peaceful of races had joined. Now the whole world was in danger but Laoch was determined to save it.

Hard?

All he had to do was find a mythical ring that was said to have disappeared without a trace over six millennia ago…
