Haunted by the shade of the Druid Allanon, the young elf-girl Wren Ohmsford is tasked with an impossible quest: to find the lost Elves and return them to the Westland, from which they vanished over a century ago. With no trace of their fabled city of Arborlon remaining, Wren's only clue comes from the enigmatic Addershag, who directs her to the desolate Blue Divide. There, a signal fire summons Tiger Ty, a Wing Rider, who transports Wren and her companion Garth to the perilous island of Morrowindl. This demon-haunted jungle is rumored to be the last refuge of the Elves. As Wren navigates the treacherous landscape, battling unimaginable evils and remembering the Addershag's ominous warning, she must not only locate her people but also convince them to reclaim their place in the world. The ultimate challenge remains: how to guide the Elves back through a path fraught with danger to the one safe haven.
