In the fifth installment of the Amulet series, "Prince of the Elves," Emily Hayes faces her greatest challenge yet. Having barely survived the Guardian Academy, she discovers that Max Griffin, now a pawn of the malevolent Elf King, has stolen the powerful Mother Stone. With this ancient artifact, the Elf King plans to forge new amulets, intending to invade and utterly destroy the sky-city of Cielis. Emily and her companions, including her brother Navin, must rally their forces and confront the Elf King's growing power. As the lines between allies and enemies blur, Emily grapples with the dark temptations of her own amulet, understanding that the fate of Alledia rests on her shoulders and her ability to control the immense, and potentially corrupting, magic within her.
