Maria discovers her magical talent while helping those Born of Elven Blood battle their age-old enemies. Maria Blanca, trapped in a world that's falling apart, finds escape in a path to Faery. Life with the elves is not what she bargained for, though. The elves are lost in dreams of former greatness, too preoccupied with the past to act or think for themselves anymore. When savage trogs gather on the borders of Faery, threatening to destroy the great elven cities, Maria cannot sit back and watch. Aided by two of the elf king's children, she starts on a quest for help . . . a quest that will take her to the heart of the trog empire, and will ultimately change Earth and Faery forever!
