If she did know, she wouldn't care.Nicole earned the title of Elf Warrior through her fierce deeds. Her husband Jack, always fought by her side. He was her calming influence, the love of her life, and the father of her twins.Regardless of the children's half-human blood, they would easily live a thousand years... just as their mother would. But Jack was mortal. He'd be lucky to reach eighty. Nicole's heart aches for him. Then, it starts to burn. Burn like the Sword of Eternal Fire. The only talisman in existence that can extend its owner's life.There's only one problem... well, two actually: the sword is hidden in a lost Elf city, and no one has ever returned from a quest for the sword.The use of magic comes at a cost. Each of her friends paid that price. Now it's Nicole's turn.
