Elves are a people of clans, tribes, and nations. Their lives are filled with family. When her village ended and her parents were killed and her revenge cost her the last of her family, Loralil was cut loose of the ties that bind elves to life.

Karleen and Levy have managed to keep her from death wishing and pulled her back from her inner darkness, but she refuses to speak. Out of concern they hit the road again to bring her to the last known enclave of Grey Elf healers. They can only hope those mystical healers can help her find a fragile peace.
